Thinking regarding playing the saxophone? Adolphe Sax, it’s inventor drew up plans for 14 dissimilar types of saxophones. I don’t know how far he got with that list but I have heard of 11 and personally have seen or played 8 of them. The 10 dissimilar voices (types) are sopranissimo, sopranino, soprano, saxello, alto, c melody, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass, and subcontrabass.
Alto or Tenor?
Let’s talk with regards to these two since they are the most frequent followed by soprano and baritone. Many persons wouldn’t actually know the divergences amidst the alto and tenor saxophones if they glanced at them from a distance but there is a big divergence amidst them.
Girls play alto and boys play tenor.
When I was in high school band it seemed that’s the way it was. It make sense when you think of the size difference, a tenor sax in it’s initial factory case is somewhat heavy to carry, making it very difficult for a little teenage girl to lug it home from school each day.
For a little person, boy or girl it’s not a bad idea to commence on the alto sax, it requires less air and the notes are closer together making it posing no difficulty for little hands to control. Of coarse this is a generalization and if you’re little and dead set on playing a tenor sax from the get go then do it.
Soprano and Baritone
One voice higher than the alto is the soprano, and because it’s littler it does require less air support. This is the good news, the bad news is that good intonation (tuning) will be harder to achieve for the beginner, particularly in the higher register. Same thing applies to the baritone sax as far as being difficult to play in tune in the upper register, and the low register requires lots of air… it’s a big horn.
Buy a Cheap Horn at First
This is a good idea for 3 reasons;
1) You, or whoever you’re buying it for might not stick with it for very long
2) You won’t get a great tone in the introductory year or 2 no matter how pricey the horn is
3) The horn itself is not the most necessary percentage of your set-up, it’s the reed and the mouthpiece… just make sure with a repairman the horn is in good working condition.

 Keeps Reeds in “ready to go” condition.
By E. Estrada
Purchased this case for my son. He plays alto sax. We live in Arizona where the humidity may get down to as low as 2% which may arid out, warp and harm reeds. During the Monsoon season it may get actually humid. We have both extremes here, but for the most part low humidity.
The case comes with a 73% RH packet which is keeping his reeds in “nearly” ready to play condition. Places the reed in his lips for a few seconds and he is ready to go. Currently he is using Rico Royal reeds.
Its a well made case and you may use the case without the humidity control pack and it fits inside the storage compartment inside his instrument case.
Its when it comes to half the price on Amazon equated to local music stores ($22 – $28).

Great case
By J. Davison
I don’t even use the humidity control, and I still actually be grateful for this case. Since it’s multi-instrument, you may store assorted reeds of dissimilar sizes in it at once. Its exceedingly utile for doublers, who might need to keep bari sax reeds, bass clarinet reeds and Bb clarinet reeds in it at once.
