I haven't really been on the guild forums lately so here goes something rofl
my sis(dee69fem)thought that altos were like jazzy band but she is kinda slow becuz her school got a band so...but altos make that sound that make a band sound good. and they sound better when they play alone or in jazz
and I just want to add this the alto is the base instrument of a jazz band
if u already know this I just wanted to post sweatdrop
