Why doesn't a G note on the sax sound the same as a G note on the piano?

Asked by AshlynM (10684points) September 24th, 2013

One of my friends plays the sax and I play the piano. We’re playing a duet but when he plays a G note and I play a G note on the piano, it doesn’t sound the same.
I don’t know if it matters but I’m playing on a digital piano.

However when I play a B flat and he plays a G, we match perfectly. Why is this?
