Hi! and welcome to WatchMojo.com, I am your host Sebastian and today we'll be talking about the saxophone.
So this saxophone is actually a pretty young instrument because it was only invented about a 150 years ago, the pattern came out in 1814 actually, the inventor was a Belgium man by the name of Adolphe Sax. And he wanted to combine the power of brass instruments with the ease and technicality of the woodwind instruments and keys of woodwind instrument.
And the funny story about this invention is that Adolphe Sax was a notoriously, unfriendly and critical inventor and he would always bash his competitors. And basically nobody wanted to condone this and wanted to honor his inventions.
So the saxophone was pretty much relegatedto Military marching bands for most of its younger part of life, until he was picked by the Jazz musicians that really made it a mainstream instrument. And actually it found it's way into pop music and all the way to electronic and everything that's going today. So still reviving well and probably it still has lots to show.
