What is the saxophone?
Saxophone belongs to woodwind instruments. It was invented by Belgian adolphe sax in 1840.

Adolf was keen on making musical instruments and was good at playing clarinet and flute. His original idea was to design a bass instrument for the orchestra. Bioficklede is flexible and can adapt to outdoor performances. He combined the mouthpiece of the bass clarinet with that of Orphee Clyde, improved it, and named this new instrument after himself.

The saxophone consists of seven parts: head, neck tube, flute head, whistle piece, whistle hoop, cap and sling. Except for the flute head and whistle, the rest are made of copper. The upper end of the saxophone body is conical (thin at the top and thick at the bottom), and the lower end is cylindrical (consistent up and down). The horn is bent upward, similar to a bass clarinet.

Saxophone is the abbreviation of saxophone and is made of saxophone metal. Strong and weak, the sound intensity is comparable to other brass music, which is unmatched by other woodwind instruments. The sound quality has the characteristics of woodwind instruments and the brightness of metal.

Saxophone is rich in timbre, the high-pitched area is between clarinet and horn, the middle audio-visual voice and cello timbre, and the low-pitched area is like tuba and double bass. The timbre is between woodwind and brass instruments.

It can not only be used to play difficult music such as flute and clarinet, but also has its own uniqueness in the performance of sliding, spitting and blowing compared with other woodwind instruments.
