I always wanted to learn how to play the saxophone but always sucked at doing so

Well, being a woodwind instrument, I'm not surprised. They are hard to play.

Yes, do you know more about the Saxophone? i am really interested in said instrument
1_Wizard
You came to the right person! High quality saxophones are usually made with brass with a single reed. Perhaps yours wasn't made out of brass?

Yes im pretty sure it was, it was nothing fancy just your average saxophone,, althoug i find it really interesting they are made from brass do you think that affects the sound?
1_Wizard
I'm fairly certain it does. I do know that the instrument has a bunch of different holes that make different sounds when depressed - quite similar to the clarinet.

Ok so would it be similar to how a flute works too?
1_Wizard
Yes, very similar indeed. Flutes are a type of woodwinds as well. The guy who actually invented the Saxophone was named "Mr. Sax". I wonder if there is a Mr. Flute?
