What is saxophone straight?

A straight saxophone is a type of saxophone that has a cylindrical body with a straight tube ending in a slight curve at the end of the instrument. It is also commonly known as a soprano saxophone. The instrument has a high-pitched range, making it a popular choice for jazz music, but it is used in various styles of music, including classical and pop. The straight saxophone was first developed in the early 1900s and used extensively by jazz musicians such as Sidney Bechet, who helped popularize the instrument. Unlike other types of saxophones, the straight saxophone does not have a curved or angled neck, and it is commonly played in a seated position due to its smaller size and lack of support from a neck strap.
