      I think sometime you couldn't help it and it come naturally. Funny thing is, this happen to me and my friend when I first introduced fret of fire(guitar hero clone on pc) to him. We use keyboard to register input and when I first play it, my friend laugh at me when I automatically shaking my hand to made it look like I was doing a silly vibration. Then guess what, when it is his turn playing, he did the same unknowingly. We laugh it out loud for that.

      The soprano sax is like a loud blusey oboe. It's a good instrument to take a duo and play mediaeval dance music. However the important thing is that the two saxes should be slightly out of tune with each other (easy with the soprano)

    1:28 - 1:31 The tenor sax is somewhat close to the vocal range of the bari sax since the tenor voice is an octave higher than the baritone, but the tenor sax naturally plays at a much higher range of notes than the baritone where the tenor sax's notes in concert pitch range from Concert A flat in the staff in Bass Clef to altissimo concert E flat in bass clef whereas the bari sax ranges in concert pitch from concert C below the staff in Bass Clef to Concert A flat above the staff in Bass Clef (the reason I refer to the Bass Clef in my explanation is because: Tenor voiced instruments or lower tend to be written in this clef for composers that write their entire musical scores in the key of C (Concert Pitch), and my background is that I played Euphonium in Bass Clef predominately (even though just like the Tenor Sax, it can also transpose to B Flat Treble clef and I know how to read that as well), so it's easier for me to transpose the notes that since that's what I'm used to). So the instruments are much further apart in terms of range of notes, but are closer to vocal range and size.
