A Lot About Soprano Instruments
Saxophones come in varying shapes and sizes. There are many types. The inventor on the saxophone, Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax patented 14 of them in 1846. They have been the E flat sopranino, F sopranino, B flat soprano, C soprano, E flat alto, F alto, B flat tenor, C tenor, E flat baritone, B flat bass, C bass, E flat contrabass, F contrabass and subcontrabass. Whilst the subcontrabass was patented by Adolphe Sax he by no means built it. Models of the instrument have been produced but they were unplayable. Other varieties have been developed because then including the C-melody saxophone, Conn-O-Sax, F Mezzo Soprano, F baritone, and the sopranissimo (nick-named the world’s smallest saxophone or soprillo).
