The saxophone was invented and patented over 160 years ago.
The various sources differ on the exact date but it was patented somewhere late June, 1846.
And you know what?
I had never occurred to me that the saxophone was invented by a Mr Sax.
Obvious when you know.

Lol...Yeah...sometimes we do overlook the obvious...!
ReplyDeleteI think the saxophone is one of the sexiest musical instruments ever invented.
ReplyDeleteThe sound it emits, the unique shape...
*sigh*
It was actually an Irish gent, Mr Sax O'Phone
ReplyDeleteAizan - Actually, it's one of the saxiest instruments. It's said that Mr. Sax was a very sexy guy - that his real name was Mr. Sex, but it was the Victorian Era so thay had to change it.
ReplyDeleteLee - Guess what Mr. Trumpet invented?
Bet he got teased at school.
