re: Questions for the band geeks

Once you learn alto it's easy to go smaller with Soprano or larger with Tenor or Bass. Alto is where most sax players start. Like Trumpet is where most brass players start. (Trumpet to baritone is a super easy switch too)

Sax is good. Through personal observations at Mardi Gras I've noticed the clarinet is really falling out of favor.


One thing I like about saxophone though and Trumpet is there are few instruments that transition out of school band.
