Woodwind Instruments

It was invented in the mid 19th century by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian instrument maker. When he invented it he was living in Paris on a permanent basis.

I think that It is a competition between a Baritone Sax or a contrabass Clarinet,

There is none there is a piccolo

Rest assured, you are not weak. You are using your lungs in a different way to take the deep breaths needed to play a musical instrument with good support. If you get dizzy, take a break for a couple of minutes and begin again. As you continue to practice and learn more about the instrument you will become used to this deeper breathing. Singers and other wind instrument players also have this happen, so you are not alone. Keep up the work, music is fun (I have been playing clarinet for almost forty years).

well, the trill key depends on what note you are trilling to. the keys labeled trill keys are the two small ones behind where you put your fingers on the left hand. they open the two small keys above where your left hand is placed.

Well every woodwind intrument has a reed, that is made of wood in exception to the flute, which used to use reeds.

Tenor clef does of course exist, and can be used by bassoon.

Not junk. They're a good student sax, but vary depending on their age. the Aristocrat line was introduced by Buescher in the 1930's as a professional instrument. By the time Selmer bought Buescher in 1963, designs had advanced and the 'crats were considered intermediate instruments. Selmer continued to use the Buescher tooling for some time but hasn't for some decades. More recent instruments are made in Taiwan, and I don't know whether they have anything in common with the old 'crats, but they are still considered good student saxes.

Can't help you on the value--I would look for a clarinet blog or web site and ask there.

The Selmer serial number chart indicates that would have been made in 1942.

When you blow through the reed it vibrates and goes through each hole and the bell. The more keys covered the lower the noise is.

$2000 i also have one

The Cavalier line of band instruments was established or launched in 1931 by the Conn Ltd subsidiary or division Pan American Band Instrument and Case Co. While dating by serial number for Cavalier is yet to be established, the relatively low number would indicate a dating between 1931 and 1935. Currently a study is being conducted to try to establish dating for the Cavalier line similar to that which has become accepted for the Conn and Pan American brands.

Well therecould be many reasons. One is you are putting to much mouth on the mouthpiece and remember to have teeth on top folded lip on bottom. Another reason is your reed is either to soft or to hard. If it is to hard you usually get no sound or very little sound. If your reed is soft you squeak more than usual. The last reason is you need to clean out your instrument. If your sound is very airy then that is probably why.

No. I have heard that you can break those clarinets in half easily. Are you looking for a beginning clarinet? If you are to get any clarinet, I would invest a little bit more money and buy a brand like Selmer, Yamaha, or a Buffet B12. Those are good brands for a beginning clarinetist.

Not that I've been able to find online - and I've looked. I did find info stating that Yamaha doesn't provide a list but that information about a specific serial number can be obtained by contacting Yamaha directly:

You can't know that without a professional looking at it. The same oboe make and serial number could be worth 200$ or 3000$. It depends on how well it's been kept.

For alto and Baritone saxophones, the notes are D D D# E G E G E E D# D A D D A D# E...
and it repeats, and for tenor, they are G G G# A C A C A A G# G D G G D G# A
For other saxophones, re-ask the question giving the specific saxophone type.
