The Saxophone is known as a single-reed musical instrument that is staple in jazz bands. Considered to be newer than other musical instruments in terms of its music history, the saxophone was invented by Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax. Aldophe Sax was born on 6 November 1814 in Dinant, Belgium. His father, Charles, was a maker of musical instruments. During his youth, Adolphe studied the clarinet and flute at Brussel's Conservatory.
His father's passion for creating musical intruments influenced him greatly and he began plans of improving the tone of the bass clarinet. what he came up with was a single-reed instrument constructed from metal that has a conical bore and overblows at the octave.
