História del saxofón


The saxophone is a conical instrument of the family of woodwind instruments, usually made of brass and consists of a single reed mouthpiece like the clarinet. It was invented by Adolphe Sax in 1846. The saxophone is commonly associated with popular music, big band music and jazz, but was originally designed as for the orchestra where they are located behind the flutes, and a military band instrument. Interpreters are called instrument saxophone or sax, but the last word used to describe the same way the instrument.
The saxophone was created in the early half of 1840 by Adolphe Sax, an instrument maker and clarinetist born in Dinant (Belgium) working in Paris, and came out officially Patent 1846 (which was granted May 17). Made 14 different types of saxophones. Sax's amazing ability to offend rival instrument manufacturers and the unfortunate prejudices of her character and instruments led that the saxophone was not used in orchestras, relegated for a long period of military bands, despite his close friendship with some influential Parisian composer Berlioz.
is unknown the origin of the inspiration that led him to create the instrument, but there is clear evidence that points to fit a clarinet mouthpiece to a Figl using the keys of the oboe as the most likely source (no doubt this leads to a sound like a saxophone). Sax worked in the studio of his father for many years, and it produced both clarinets as Figl. The tarogato Hungary and Rumania, which is quite similar to the soprano saxophone, has also been reported as a possible inspiration. However, this can not be because the modern tarogato has a nozzle of a cane was not developed until 1890, long after the invention of the saxophone. Most likely, however, is that Sax actually try to create an entirely new instrument which suited both tonally and technically with the idea I had in mind and had a new level of flexibility. This explains that he chose to name the instrument as the "voice of Sax."
The development is defined almost entirely in terms of Sax's patent. During the term of the patent (1846-1866) no one except the Sax factory could legally Paris manufacture or modify the instrument. After 1866 he introduced many changes that took place several manufacturers.
