The saxophone is a part of the woodwind family and there are four different types of saxophones that produce a different sound. There is the soprano sax which is the most high-pitched. The alto sax is less high-pitched than the soprano and is also the one that I play. The tenor sax is the second deepest sax because it has a longer part that comes up and lets the sound become deeper. The deepest sax is the baritone sax and it is huge. If you stretch out the baritone sax it will probably be around 6-7 feet weighing from 15-20 pounds.
