Original Saxophone
     The saxophone is a special instrument.  Other instruments were developed over a long period of time.  The saxophone has not changed since it was invented!  In 1840, Adolph Sax did something, which students in a music classroom sometimes do when the teacher is not present.  He put a clarinet mouthpiece on a brass instrument and blew through it.  The brass instrument sounded like a woodwind!  To this, Sax added keys and the saxophone was born.  The instrument produced a new sound, powerful, rich and mellow.
     We sometimes see the saxophone in a symphony orchestra but of course symphonic music written before its invention did not include saxophone parts.

Take out the tenor sax and substitute timpani and you got them.  Saxophones are not a part of a normal orchestra instrumentation.  Ravel, Stravinsky and others have used the saxophone as an instrument of color but it never officially made it into the orchestra.
Thats right csd teacher - - - Thanks and Thanks to you also Farmer for your input. What about the Trumpet, Tam-Tam or the Tubular Bells ???
