Thinking playing the saxophone? Adolphe Sax, is the inventor drew up plans for 14 different types of saxophones. I do not know how he arrived at that list but I've heard 11 and have personally seen or played 8 of them. The 10 different voices (types) are sopranissimo, sopranino, soprano, saxello, alto, C melody, tenor, baritone, bass, bass, and subcontrabass.
Alto or Tenor?
Let's talk about these two since they are the most popular followed by the soprano and baritone. Many people actually I would not know the differences between the high tenor saxophone if you looked from a distance, but there is a big difference between them.
High Girls play and children play tenor.
When I was in high school band he thought it was. It makes sense when you think of the difference in size, tenor sax in the original packaging factory is something heavy to carry, making it very difficult for a young teenager to lug to school every day.
For a small person or child is not a bad idea to start on alto saxophone, requires less air and the notes are closer to making it easier for small hands to control. Of coarse this is a generalization and if you're small and totally in the game a tenor sax from the get go and then do it.
Soprano and baritone
A voice higher than the top is the soprano, because it is smaller and requires less air support. This is good news, bad news is that good intonation (Set) will be more difficult to achieve for beginners, especially in the higher register. The same applies to the baritone sax as be difficult to play in tune in the upper register, and the low register requires a lot of air ... is a great horn.
Buy a cheap in the First Horn
This is a good idea for 3 reasons;
1) You, or whoever you are buying it for could not join her for a long time
2) You will not receive great sound in the first year or two, no matter how expensive it is the horn
3) The horn itself is not the most important part of its design, is the cane and nozzle ... just make sure a repair of the horn is in good working condition.
