The Alto Saxophone increases in width as the length increases. The neck starts at about 3/4 inch then at the middle of the Saxophone is about 3 inches wide including the keys and depending on the model of saxophone. The bell of the saxophone is usually about 4-5 inches wide while on a big-bell alto saxophone the bell can be about 6 inches wide.
To put it simply, No. I'm in a small jazz band and often am asked the question, "that's a rather odd size for an alto isn't it?". The truth is that to start off with the alto saxophone was only designed to be constructed in one size, however, nowadays the alto is made in a wife range of sizes, some more suitable for children, and some adults. Mine is pitched somewhere in the middle. And although it may seem a bit odd to those used to the original plans for this instrument, I hope this answer will save me a few of those curious people in the future. :)
