The Saxophone is not part of the standard orchestra. However any composer or arranger might add one if he or she wishes. The British composer Ralph vaughan Williams used one or more on several occaisions.

To which section of the orchestra does a saxophone belong?

There is a lot of debate over this, as the saxophone has the body of a brass instrument yet the mouthpiece of a woodwind. However, they are conventionally placed in the brass section, as most feel this is the one it most resembles. It is also worth noting that very few orchestras have a saxophone section, as it has a less traditional tone to many orchestral instruments, although many notable composers (shostakovich amongs them- who is an ACTUAL legend) who use saxophones in their pieces.
