What is an alto saxophone?

The alto saxophone or alto sax is a musical instrument that belongs to the saxophone family. It is tuned in E-flat and has a lightweight and small design that makes it the perfect instrument for beginners.

Despite being made of metal, the alto sax falls into the woodwind category, as it has a small wooden reed inside that produces the sound.

How does the alto saxophone differ from the baritone saxophone?

Alto saxophones, as the name suggests, have higher registers; they are tuned in E-flat. The melody of this instrument is warm and clear, and the spacing of its keys allows for easy fingering when playing.

On the other hand, the baritone saxophone produces a penetrating sound, and its size is larger compared to the other saxophones. Playing this type of saxophone requires knowledge and experience from the musician, making its presence in orchestras less common.
