Instrument Basic 08 - Saxyness

121st day of 2016.

I am quite surprised to see that there are various type of Saxophone. In Musescore, there are 4 types, Soprano, Alto, Baritone and Tenor, and yes, I am still unable to remember what it means in relevant to their pitches.

Upon listening their sounds, they are pretty similar other than its pitch and another baffling characteristic of their keysignatures. I remember I didn't select any keysignatures for them while setting up but they appeared with keysignatures.

I just used my ear to determine which one is a C and do the same note range as usual. For a music half learner like me, it is pretty confusing.
