Alto Sax Sound
What is the difference between a good alto sax sound and a bad one?
It all depends on what you are going for. For a classical sound, as others have said, you want a round, warm, non-airy sound. For jazz ensemble, the sound isn't as big of a deal because the ensemble actually mixes it all together and makes it sound good. If you listened to a lot of the swing band players in the 50s and 60s, their tone sounded like crap, but by the time the blended sound made it to the audience, it sounded great. For small jazz groups, you may want a different sound. Listen to Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Their tone is actually not that pretty to listen to.
