      It also has other uses, some worth the 4000 + dollars that goes into it, we don't need a wailing machine for the unce unce afterparty beat. There's about 5,000 other sounds you can make that all aspire something different, don't get stuck on whats popular to a subway hype player and think its the most impressive feat for the instrument.

      @@uncomfortableshirt3870 all I can say is the saxophone is cursed with always being unknown, and having a small group that really knows anything about it. It has also had 9 types of saxophones made- Soprillo, Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, Contrabass, and Subcontrabass. Ranging from an extremely high octave for Soprillo and the size of a larger fork, to a high note on a subcontrabass that would be heard thinking it was a low note since a high F on a subcontrabass would be a middle F on a Bass saxophone which is a Low F on a Tenor...and also being literally a story tall in height.
