The saxophone is one of the youngest musical instruments. It was invented by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian, in the 1840s. The saxophone has a sound that is very close to the human voice, which is why it is used to express emotions. The saxophone often compliments the French horn, since both of them have a similar range and timbre. A saxophone is as complex as a classical instrument yet as unconventional as a non-classical instrument.

The saxophone was originally used in the military, though it is now a popular jazz instrument. It is generally used in big bands, marching bands and concerts. Saxophones are mostly related with jazz because they are used mostly to play jazz music. However, they are also used for classical music. Saxophone players are called saxophonists.

Saxophones are classified as woodwind instruments, though they are generally made of brass. They are coated with clear or colored lacquer. Some saxophones also have gold or silver plating. The lacquer coating not only helps to prevent corrosion but also enhances the quality of sound and gives a beautiful look to the instrument. The mouthpiece may be made of plastic, rubber, metal, wood or glass. However, the material does not affect the sound quality. The shape of the mouthpiece is found to have an effect on the quality of sound, since those with a concave chamber are felt to produce softer tones.

The saxophone is similar to a clarinet, in the sense that both use a single mouthpiece. However, it has a square or round evacuated inner chamber. The body is conical in shape, like the oboe, though the curve is more distinctive at the bell. Saxophones may be straight or curved, though straight ones are more common.

The main parts in a saxophone are: the mouth-piece including the ligature and the reed; the main tube that has tone holes and keys; a series of rods that connect the keys to the tone holes; the pads that securely cover the tone holes and, most importantly, the bell. The neck strap is also important since saxophones can be very heavy.

There are several kinds of saxophones but the four most common are: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone saxophones. The Alto saxophones are smaller and ideal for first-time players. They are also the most popular kind. There are also vintage saxophones available.

Second-hand saxophones can also be bought for a reasonable price. While buying a used saxophone, ensure that the keys aren't noisy or leaking. Also check for dents or scratches. The pads and the cork should be in good working condition. It is better to get it checked by a professional before buying it.

The local music store, mail-order service, a private party or the Internet are possible sources for buying saxophones. The main aspects to be considered are the quality, service, price and the model. The Internet is a good place to find information about saxophones, but it is a good idea to test a few of them before buying.

Saxophones provides detailed information about saxophones, jazz saxophones, soprano saxophones, alto saxophones and more. Saxophones is the sister site of Violins Web.
