Saxophones

Saxophones, not only are they a staple in wind bands or orchestras, but they are also a symbolic instrument in jazz music and are essential in traditional jazz big bands.

These wind instruments, despite seeming to be made of brass, are actually categorized as "woodwinds" because to play them, you have to apply pressure to a wooden reed with your lips, which vibrates and helps to create the saxophone's unique sound. If you're also interested in the types of reeds for wind instruments, check out the dedicated section on reeds for wind instruments available on MusicalStore2005.com.

Even for wind instruments like saxophones, there are digital versions by brands such as Roland and Akai. These digital instruments have sensors to measure the speed of your breath to modulate dynamics and sound, allowing you to experiment with a variety of sounds and tones.

Looking to start playing a saxophone? In search of affordable saxophones with a good price-to-quality ratio? This is certainly one of the first choices when beginning to play such an instrument and not wanting to invest a large amount of money only for it to be left gathering dust in a corner of the house.

The choice of an affordable saxophone, or sax, can also be the first step in enrolling your child in a course, which can be done in a private school or in the increasingly numerous courses (or at least for some years now) available in middle schools and music high schools.

Take a look at the Soundsation saxophones offered in our online store. Keep in mind that the saxophone family primarily consists of (from the highest register), the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone, which is the lowest. There are also other "more exotic" models like the curved soprano or the C (Do) saxophone. Yes, because saxophones, depending on their type, read in different keys, which can be Bb (B flat) and Eb (E flat).
