"Groups"/"Categories"/"Series"/"Families" of seven instruments - inconsistent terminology
In the article, especially the lede and first section, the "groups" of seven instruments (C/F and B flat/E flat) are called variously "groups", "categories", "series" and "families". I should like to use consistent wording throughout, but I don't know which is bet to use (I should favour "series"). Does anyone have any opinions? Si Trew (talk)

"Military" and "Orchestral" series
Given the uncertainty as to whether the "military" and "orchestral" terms were ever applied to the two original series of saxophones, and the superfluous nature of such a debate to understanding the bare facts pertaining to those series, to wit, the B♭ and E♭ series under which most instruments were produced and a small minority of instruments in the C and F series, any reference to those terms in that context seems unnecessary. My only familiarity with "military pitch" is with reference to the High Pitch instruments made for marching bands and "military series" may reflect a conflation of those instruments with the early ones produced in the keys of the modern saxophone family.

Please add a fingering chart!
I would love to see a fingering chart in the article even if this isn't a "how-to" it would still greatly benefits users who would like to learn more on the saxophone and how to use it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanasia4 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Table of Saxophones
I was going to add the C Melody saxophones, Mezzo-Soprano and Conn-o-sax to the table of saxophones along with their SPN ranges, but the page is semi-protected and I haven't edited 4+ articles. I see you decided not to include/removed the C Melodies, or maybe that was another editor/author, but has this page really seen so much vandalism that semi-protection is necessary until 2028?
