[Saxophone class] Alto? Tenor? Which saxophone is easy to start?

If you're thinking about starting a saxophone, what kind of sounds do you like?
・I want to enjoy various songs by freely manipulating the classic alto saxophone, high to low saxophone range!

・I want to blow powerfully (moist) with medium to low sound like cello

Let's think about what kind of sound you like or want to blow it. ♪　I think most people do not know even if they have no knowledge or experience. In such a case, ask the saxophone teachers and experienced people!

In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of each saxophone and the reasons for choosing.♪

◆The saxophones are broadly divided into four types
①Alto saxophone
・I am good at medium-to-high-range. There are many music scores composed and arranged for alto saxophone. Weight: 2～3kg
・Characteristic Songs: Midnight Door – Stay with Me – Miki Matsubara

②Soprano saxophone
・High range is good, bright and transparent sound is easy to emit. Weight: 1.0~1.3kg
・Characteristic Songs: "The Moment" by Kenny-G

③Tenor saxophone
・I am good at medium range. I play an important role in jazz and rock. Weight: 3~3.6kg
・Characteristic Songs: Round Midnight by S. Monk

④Baritone saxophone
・Rich bass voice features · Weight demand for brass band and big band: 5~6kg
・Characteristic Songs: Moanin'/B. Timon's Art Blakey performed well.

◆Easy-to-start order (only one example)
Number 1: Alto saxophone
■Reason for selection: The size is medium and easy to hold. There are a lot of reasonable price points. It is relatively easy to make sound.

2nd: Tenor saxophone
■Reason for selection: The structure and index are similar to alto saxophone. Soft and warm tone. There is a high demand for jazz and pop.

Third place: Soprano saxophone
■Reason for selection: It is often selected for middle class senior. Because of the high range, it is difficult to control the pitch. It is easy to carry, but technology is necessary to produce sound.

4th: Baritone saxophone
■Reason for selection: Because it is large and heavy, it is necessary to devise ways to carry and perform. A lot of expensive things.

Each has its own charm and characteristics, and is chosen according to each genre and the needs of the performer. Which one to choose is often determined by the genre of music you want to play and the taste of the tone.
