The saxophone is a wonderful
instrument, not too hard to play, but difficult to play really well.
The saxophone belongs to no
particular instrument family, it is made of copper as brass but the sound
is produced by a piece of wood called a reed that vibrates when we blow
on it.
Yet included in "classical"
bands it is very apreciated in "jazz" bands.
The saxophone family is composed
of:
The soprano
The alto
The tenor
The baritone
There exists some rarer saxophones:
the sopranino and the bass.
