The saxophone is one of the youngest musical instruments. It was devised by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian, in the 1840s. The saxophone has a sound that is very close to the humane voice, which is why it is applied to express emotions. The saxophone often compliments the French horn, since both of them have a similar range and timbre. A saxophone is as complex as a classical instrument yet as unconventional as a non-classical instrument.

The saxophone was in the first place employed in the military, though it is now a usual jazz instrument. It is in general employed in big bands, marching bands and concerts. Saxophones are largely related with jazz because they are applied for the most part to play jazz music. However, they are likewise employed for classical music.

The body is conical in shape, like the oboe, even though the curve is more distinguishable at the bell. Saxophones may be straight or curved, though straight ones are more common.

Good For the Price!
By Yecenia Castro
This sax turned out to be pretty decent, looking at the low price. My son wanted his own saxophone, so we looked on Amazon.com for one. A Yamaha or Selmer sax would have been better, but they are very expensive. This is a outstanding substitute for one of those pricey saxophones. It sounded closely as good as his rental, which was a Vito Sax. I would definitly commend this saxophone!
