Saxophone Sax
Saxophone Sax
Saxophone players: I've noticed that many Tenor Sax players also play flute. Is the fingering the same? (read)
Many also play baritone and Soprano Sax as well but I have rarely noticed this with alto players. (Maybe it's not as popular?)
I guess what I'm asking is if one learns to play the saxophone, would he/she be able to play any and all of them?
The fingerings are very similar, but not entirely the same (between flutes and saxophones.) All saxophones have generally the same fingering except for the occasional specialized keys. All flutes have the same fingerings, except for placement of trill keys.
The biggest reason why alto players don't delve into baritone sax is because the register is different - they have to switch from treble to Bass Clef. Also, your breath control and strength are really brought out by the baritone and soprano regions.
Example: A weak flute player will not be able to play a piccolo without making it squeal, and they won't have enough breath to hold notes on a bass or alto flute either. The basic idea is that they lack sofficient control over their breathing to make a smooth, constant pitch note. (The other flute players liked to try playing my piccolo and bass flute, but it usually sounded painful.)
