The most common types of saxophones you will find in concert bands and such are the Bb tenor, Eb alto, Eb barry (baritone) saxophones. Another common type is the Bb soprano. There are many different types of saxophones, though, so don't be surprised if, for example, you find a C soprano and a Bb soprano or whatever. They're still both saxes. Hope this helped.
