How to Choose a Saxophone The
saxophone is perhaps the most widely heard solo instrument of
the wind family in popular and jazz music. It has a singing
quality with a rich middle register, commanding low register,
and an exciting and colorful extended range. Young
saxophonists can enjoy performing in many large ensembles
including concert, jazz, and marching bands as well as wind
ensemble. Although not a regular member of the orchestra
woodwind section, orchestral composers occasionally score for
one or more saxophones, and sometimes incorporate a saxophone
quartet. There is also a good body of concerto repertoire for
the saxophone. |

HISTORY
Invented in the 1840s by Adolphe Sax of Brussels, Belgium, the
saxophone is the most recently developed member of the
woodwind family. It is a hybrid instrument with a key system
based on the Boehm fingering system c.1832, as is the case
with the clarinet, oboe, and flute. The saxophone has a
conical bore like an oboe, a reed and mouthpiece like a
clarinet, and a metal body (brass) like the brass family of
instruments.

1, 3, 4, 6, 7, & 8 are most commonly used. 1 & 8 are
used mainly in orchestral and wind ensemble works, less so in
jazz and commercial music. 2 & 5 were used mostly in the
earlier part of the 20th century for players who did not wish
to transpose. Piano or violin parts could be read with greater
ease, for instance.
