The saxophone

Obviously the saxophone is a wonderful jazz instrument, but what others genres of music can it be used in. The tenor sax and the alto sax are some of the easiest doubling instruments. If you don't know why. The reed and mouthpiece sizes are the right proportion so that a brass player or woodwind player wouldn't have to change their embrasure and are the same basic fingerings as most woodwinds. Rock, blues and many of the favorite modern songs aren't complete without one or two of these. Jazz usually has a couple of both and usually has a baritone sax, which is an octave lower than alto sax. Another one of the more common saxes is the soprano sax. Soprano sax is usually only used in two genres of music. Oddly enough, they are completely the opposite. Jazz and classical. The instrument is an octave higher than the tenor sax and is used in jazz for the high pitches. Used in classical for one reason. I think that it's only used because it sounds like an oboe. Their are also two more saxophones that aren't specially made. The sopranino saxophone which is an octave higher than alto and is rarely used. And the bass sax which is an octave lower than tenor sax. I believe that the saxophone is primarily a jazz instrument and even though used sometimes in classical, jazz should be the only genre it plays in professionally
