Description: |
| Antoine-Joseph "Adolphe" Sax was born in what is now Belgium to a family of music-instrument makers. By the early 1840s he had begun making a new design of woodwind with tapered barrels and distinctive sound, and in 1844 he applied for a patent which was granted in 1846. He had earlier patented an improved bass clarinet, and he would subsequently patent an extended-range saxophone, although the latter invention did not achieve any commercial success. |
