How about, "The clarinet is to the saxophone as Albert Einstein is to
Arnold Scwartzenegger."

Just off the top of my head. Be advised, while I started on clarinet, I

what you do with it. (Come to think of it, you could use that, too.)

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
