Baritone is easily the best commonly available saxophone, and you can do awesome jazz stuff with it, especially improv.

I play alto, and I disagree, it doesn't sound bad, nor does it have to.
Get a skilled player on a good instrument (with a good mouth piece and the right reed), and you can have some awesome sounds happening.

Tenor is nice. It takes what you give it. Tenor responds with a smooth tone no matter how much or little experience you have.
Soprano I've always been against. Just something about being small. . .

Yup, I agree. If you put a good player on a good instrument it'll sound good. And if you put a bad player on a bad instrument it'll sound terrible, no matter how good your instrument it... It won't do a thing if the player isn't capable.

I currently play alto (and got two of 'em), but I'm thinking of also taking up tenor. Not because I dislike alto, but because I love saxophones =). So I guess it's just a personal taste as to what you want to play.

I meant... Bad player on a good instrument. Not bad player on a bad instrument.

I play bari and alto. I LOVE the bari sax! Alto is good, but I only like playing notes lowewr than a middle A on them; the other notes are just too high. Bari is awsome it gives a nice harmony to almost any song, it really balances out the sound in our band( we have 14 flutes that all play too loud!).

Well actually my friend plays the Tenor Sax and plays it during the louder songs that need a boost of tenor notes and during marching band. He pairs up with me (tuba) when we play the slower songs that need that boost of a full sonorous quality to it. He plays alto if he's asked to. His favore it Tenor though.

Just bought a contrabass saxophone yesterday. Tell you what, nothing matches the experience of playing one. It's incredible.

I love the alto best! I like the the higher pitched instruments better (I think it's because I play higher pitched myself =) ) but alto is closly followed by the bari.
