Saxophones

Saxophones, besides being very popular in wind bands or orchestras, are also an iconic instrument in jazz music and indispensable in typical jazz big bands.

These wind instruments, although they appear to be made of brass, are actually classified as "woodwinds" because to play them, you need to put pressure on a wooden reed with your lips, which vibrates and contributes to producing the saxophone's distinctive sound. If you're also interested in the types of reeds for wind instruments, check out the dedicated section on reeds for wind instruments available on MusicalStore2005.com.

Even for wind instruments like saxophones, there are digital experiments by brands such as Roland and Akai. These digital instruments have sensors to measure the speed of your breath to modulate dynamics and sound, allowing you to experiment with multiple sounds and tones.

Looking to start playing a saxophone? Searching for affordable saxophones with a good price-to-quality ratio? This is certainly one of the first choices when starting to play such an instrument and not wanting to spend too much money to avoid it being left in a corner of the house.

The choice of an affordable saxophone, or sax, can also be the first step in enrolling your child in a course, which can be done in a private school or in the increasingly numerous courses (or at least for some years now) available in middle schools and music high schools.

Remember that the saxophone family primarily consists of (from the highest register), the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone, which is the lowest. There are also other "more exotic" models like the curved soprano or the C (Do) saxophone. Yes, because saxophones, depending on their type, read in different keys, which can be Bb (B flat) and Eb (E flat).
