of people enjoy playing and listening to brass instruments - including
trumpets, trombones, clarinets, and saxophones. These instruments

About 300,000 professionals around the world make their living by
playing the saxophone. The saxophone was invented by Adolph Sax ,
a Belgium instrument maker, in 1840. Sax's first instrument was made
with brass, which is the material used to make most saxophones around
the world today. In Germany, there is limited production of saxophones
made entirely of copper. |
