The original sax was the BARITONE sax. It was made to provide the power and timbre of a brass instrument while providing the flexibility of the reed and tone holes of a woodwind. People liked the bass because of its powerful sound and then adolphe sax created the other variants, including the alto. sorry, It was the Baritone Saxophone.... after the invention of that he decided to recreate different pitched saxes in both upper and lower pitches.
