Answer by  alanschech (256)

There are 4 basic types of saxophones. The soprano, the alto, the tenor and the baritone. The baritone is not recommended for a youngster to start on because it is too large. The common beginner saxes are the alto and the tenor. Alto is the most common, but tenor is needed by most band teachers.

There's the Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bariton & Bass Baritone. Alto's are best for students. For boys, the soprano which resembles a clarinet is too wimpy, and tenor too big.
