alto sax

an instrument that is part of the best instrument family in the band. By playing a sax it allows the person to have an overblown ego. However they must be good at playing their sax, otherwise they should be stoned. Invented by Adolf Sax as an instrument that can play loud as a trumpet and as fast as a flute or clarinet.

alto saxaphone

One of several instruments in the saxaphone family. The saxaphone is often confused with the saxophone, a wind instrument invented by Adolphe Sax in 1840. Saxaphone is a word used by uneducated simpletons that need to spend more time near a dictionary and less time trying to associate themselves with the many facets of coolness offered by the saxophone and legitimate saxophone players world-wide.

For sale: one used saxaphone. I'm not sure if it's a tenor or alto, I'm not a musician.
