Yanagisawa and Bauhaus Walstein made saxophones out of phosphor bronze because it changed the tone of the notes. Later, Yanagisawa made necks, bells and then entire bodies out of sterling silver. Keilwerth and P. Mauriat have made saxophones out of nickel silver, the same material used to make a Flute.
