Best Answer

Saxophones are a family of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax, who gave them his name. They are made of brass, like trumpets and other brass instruments, have a conical bore, like brasses and also some woodwinds, but are keyed like a woodwind and have a single reed like a Clarinet. They range from high pitched soprano to low-pitched bass.
