So here's my suggestion: Choose whichever you like the sound of best. The saxophone shares many challenges of embouchure with the clarinet, having a similar (but slightly larger) mouthpiece and reed. Whether you’re a parent trying to decide on an instrument for a child, or older and wanting to pick up a woodwind for the first time (or maybe looking for another woodwind instrument to learn! the sax and the ohter ones(like a half hour or so at least).

The woodwind family – like the strings and the brass – contain instruments of all shapes and sizes.

Mind you, yes, I love the sound abd akways will.
