November 6 Saxophone Day


November 6 Saxophone Day

Today day is November 6 Saxophone Day, commemorates the birth of the woodwind’s inventor, Adolphe Sax. Sax constructed saxophones in several sizes in the early 1840s and on June 28, 1846, received a 15-year patent for the instrument.

After Sax’s patent expired in 1866, several saxophonists and instrument manufacturers implemented their own improvements to the original design and keywork.
