The Saxophone was invented by a man named Adolphe Sax whose father also made instruments.
He wanted to have the crisp sound of a brass instrument (trumpet, Trombone, tuba) and also wanted to have the mellow sound of a wood wind instrument (Clarinet, oboe, bassoon)
Sax also wanted all of the saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone etc.) to have the same fingerings.
The saxophone was adopted by French military bands early on since the saxophone has more power than other woodwinds.
A number of changes have been made to the saxophone.
Most saxophonists believe that the Selmer Mark VI was the best saxophone manufactured.
Modern saxophones are continually being designed with the help of saxophone players.
Selmer, Keilwerth, Yamaha, and Yanagisawa are the top four saxophone companies.
