A member of the saxophone family, the alto saxophone is
designated as a woodwind musical instrument. It was
invented by the Belgian Adolphe Sax in 1841. It is
smaller than the tenor, and larger than the soprano. It
is the type of saxophone most used in classical
compositions.
Alto saxophones are transposing instruments and the
alto is tuned in the key of Eb. Thus when a C-natural
note is played on the alto sax, it sounds a major 6th
(Eb) lower. The alto sax is a reed instrument and hence
is classified as a wind instrument.
