different clef between the higher register and lower register instruments

This isn’t true for saxophones. All saxes are in treble clef. Key fingerings are the same on all saxes as well. The only difference between the variations is that soprano and tenor are in Concert B-flat, alto and baritone are in Concert E-flat. The only effect this difference has in scale memorizations.

I believe the bass sax is Concert C, but those are super rare.

In short, if you can play one sax, you can play them all.
