Saxophone
The saxophone was invented around 1840 by Adolph Sax. Despite being made of brass it is still a woodwind instrument and is a transposing member of the single reed family. It has four common variants: soprano (Bb); alto (Eb); tenor (Bb) and baritone (Eb). The soprano, due to its small size is sometimes used for small children as a starter instrument. It is our contention that, as the hardest of the saxophone family to play (particularly regarding tuning), it should not be used in this way.
