Description
The once luxurious velvet inside case covering is now worn from the love and attention by someone who played this old saxophone, a woodwind instrument. Woodwind instruments are those which are played with a reed in the mouthpiece.
The dynamic range of the saxophone is the widest of all the woodwinds. It has tonal qualities very close to those of the human voice, and it is capable of a wide range of expression, so it is no wonder that it features prominently in the history of jazz music as a solo instrument. In classical music as well, it enjoys a robust repertoire, particularly from French composers, and it is used in a wide range of instrumental groupings, including chamber music, orchestra, and even as a solo instrument.

Very elegant image, Debby, and an equally interesting history of this beautiful instrument. I love Jazz, but I wasn’t aware of the French connection or the similarities to the tone of the human voice. Wonderful work! 🌎

Thank you Jeffery. I learn much when I look into the information when writing the description. Personally, informing people of the subject makes it more appealing...at to me it is!
