The saxophone is a woodwind instrument that produces sound by vibrating reeds. It has been in existence since the mid-19th century and was invented by Adolphe Sax, who also invented the clarinet. Saxophones come in many different sizes and styles, with the soprano being the smallest and the bass being the largest. There are two main types of saxophones: the tenor and the baritone. Tenors produce a higher sound than baritones, but both can be used to play a variety of music genres such as jazz, blues, rock, and classical.
