The '''saxophone''' was invented by [[Adolphe Sax]] in 1841, a Belgian [[clarinet | clarinetist]]. The saxophone was invented to resemble an intermediate instrument between woodwind and brass, although it is generally considered a woodwind instrument. Originally, Sax invented 14 different saxophones.<ref>Pearson, Bruce. "''Standard of Exellence Comprehensive Band Method Book 1 E{{music|b}} Alto Saxohone''." San Diego: Niel A.

There are five types of saxophones in use today: E{{music|b}} [[Soprano Saxophone]], B{{music|b}} [[Alto Saxophone]], E{{music|b}} [[Tenor Saxophone]], [[C Melody Saxophone]] and E{{music|b}} [[Baritone Saxophone]]. Because the note fingering is the same on all types of saxophones, it is easy for a saxophonist to switch from one sax to another.
