The '''saxophone''' was invented by [[Adolphe Sax]] in 1841, a Belgian [[clarinet]]ist. The saxophone was invented to resemble an intermediate instrument between [[woodwind]] and [[brass instrument|brass]], although it is generally considered a single-reed 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. Kjos Music Company, 1993. 48.</ref>

There are four types of saxophones in common use today: soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones. More obscure saxophones are the soprillo, sopranino, mezzo-soprano, bass and contrabass saxophones and the tubax.

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, although it is sometimes difficult to adjust to the differently-sized mouthpiece of each instrument.
