What kind of family adolphe sax born into?

Answer 1

Adolphe Sax was born into a Belgian family of woodwind instrument makers, so he learned his trade that laid the groundwork for future inventions and innovations (the Sax-horn, the Sax-thunder, and the most successful, the Saxophone) . His father, Charles Sax, made major innovations at a time that is characterized by revolutionary technical advances in woodwind key positioning structure. Theobold Bohem, a contemporary, had made major innovations and improvements in the manner that keys are laid out on the Flute and Clarinet. Charles Sax also made major innovations, making possible the advancement of the Bass and Alto clarinets, and improvements in the way that keys are positioned on the bassoon. Adolphe continued this tradition. The most solid innovation in Adolphe Sax's legacy, the Saxophone, is characterized by a single reed structure found in the Clarinet and Chameleau, with the octave key layout characteristic of the Oboe, rather than the key structure being laid out in twelfths, as is found on the Clarinet.
