	Saxophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The saxophone was created in the mid-1840s by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian-born instrument-maker and clarinetist working in Paris, and was first officially revealed to the public in the patent of 1846 (which was granted to him on May 17).
		Because the saxophone is a transposing instrument, it is easy for a player to switch between instruments because the fingerings remain the same for the same written notes.
		Late-model baritone saxophones have a low A-natural, but other members of the family do not (except for a limited number of Selmer Mark VI altos 1), and composers who write this note for baritone should be aware that it may not actually be played if the saxophonist uses an older instrument.

		Late-model baritone saxophones have a low A-natural, but other members of the family do not, and composers who write this note for baritone should be aware that it may not actually be played if the saxophonist uses an older instrument.

	The tale of the Varitone "electric saxophone"
		In the history of saxophone manufacturing, there have been many radical concepts which have either captured the hearts of performers, or dropped into obscurity.
		Initially, the saxophone was meant to have a built-in means of amplification so acoustic feedback was not such an issue.
		Since all of the standing waves in the saxophone emanate from the mouthpiece and neck of the saxophone, that became the optimum location for the microphone.

		Brass: 95% (or greater) of saxophones use brass as their main component.
		King Silver-Sonic, where a sterling silver bell is added to a brass body, also makes somewhat of a difference to the sound of the horn, but, because the saxophone is not a “closed pipe” instrument like a trumpet, the silver bell significantly affects only C# and lower.
		Today, the market for a horn that is really good for one “style” of music is now quite small. Most people prefer to get a horn that is very good for “all around” use and, because of this, very few manufacturers now advertise their horns specifically for jazz or classical, etc.
