Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece

What are some things you should know about saxophones?

I want to buy a saxophone for fun only. I'm not taking classes or anything and I wants to be in any band, I just want to play for fun. I know nothing about saxophones different from what I heard on jazz records. I play, so I have experience music for piano, but I'm a rookie in any other instrument. My questions would be: 1) What should I (tenor, alto, etc. ..), and at what number? What is the best for a beginner? 2) Is buying a used saxophone health? I imagine that the speakers or replace it should be. Is that fair better buy a new one? 3) How much would it cost saxo, low quality? 4) Is it relatively easy to improvise on the saxophone? 5) Is there a good amount Saxophone books and sheet music for beginners? Note, I have no experience with saxophones and if possible, I would like a smaller one.

Im new Tenor Sax, any pointers?

I've been playing clarinet for 5 years (in the symphonic band), and the French horn (Marching Band-Mellophone-) for almost 2 years. I was recently asked to switch to tenor sax in Jazz Band. My school is known for its band program prestige and we always get at least $ 10 million in scholarships each year. So I have a lot to live up to since we've been very good tenor saxophonists. So I was hoping someone could give me some mouth, playing techniques, suggestions, or mouthpiece or anything of that nature would be great =-)

Clarinet different take more mouthpiece - if the notes are a problem Seriously, you are not losing enough to use a mouth - so notes are a serious problem, you are too tight for the use of air, but not much more than the pressure The very air nozzle must match the style of music - jazz needs a more open and peak closer orchestra needs although open in mid - May be used for both. The fingering is a bit confusing at first, because the two records are the same fingerings, P. ex. under G and G are high, even with the eighth high probability, etc. Good G. Tor is fashionable future of learning a second language and a second instrument!
