The Alto Saxophone
The alto saxophone, like all saxophones falls under the family of woodwind instruments. Invented by Adolphe Sax, the alto is the third smallest of the saxophone family. The alto is the second most common size of saxophone and also most commonly used in classical compositions. Because of its prevalence, the alto saxophone is the most common choice for beginners learning to play the saxophone; with the second most common saxophone used is the tenor.
The range for the alto saxophone is from the D-flat below middle C going up to an octave above middle C, and up to the A-flat above that.
Notable alto saxophonists include jazz musicians Charlie Parker, Johnny Hodges, Cannonball Adderley, Lee Konitz, Eric Dolphy, David Sanborn, Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Phil Woods, and Paul Desmond, and classical musicians Marcel Mule, Sigurd Raschèr, and Eugene Rousseau (for more see the Complete list of saxophonists)[2]. The alto saxophone is included in classical music more often than the tenor, and many concertos for alto exist. The alto has great versatility and is used commonly in concert, jazz, funk, blues, pop, marching bands, and rock music. More at Wikipedia.
