Contrabass sax is huge
The alto is a step bigger than the soprano though.

If you're breathing through your lungs only good luck. Breath with your diphram and you will get much more air. Three step breath, diaphram(lower abdomen) pulls air into the bottom of your lungs, lungs(middle ab.) and then raise your shoulders a bit and fill the top. With practice you can exhale for a minute or more. You can practice this breathing anywhere, anytime. To practice exhaling, purse lips into a whistle and blow out just enough to almost whistle. Pull back if your making a whistle.
