The Saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax in 1841. He was born in Brussels but living in Paris.
It was designed to have characteristics of both a brass instrument like a trumpet or tuba and also woodwinds like a clarinet or oboe. Most saxophones are made of brass but are classified as woodwinds because the sound comes from a piece of wood. I played sax in 3rd grade but did not get very far with it. Hot Cross Buns and the like.
