Adolphe Sax is most well- known for his invention of the saxophone. The saxophone was patented in 1846. Here is a list, with the year, of his other inventions.

* Improvement to the Bass Clarinet into a straight body - 1824, at the age of 20. * He worked on valved bugles that, despite not being his own creation, were far more popular than any of his competition in France - 1844 exhibition * Developed the saxotromba family, which included valved brass instruments. This family only existed for a short term though - Created in 1845 * Invented the clarinette-bourdon, which was an early and successful version of the contrabass Clarinet. * Invented the Saxophone, and had planned for every range of saxophone, (sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass, and subcontrabass) - 1846

Adolph Sax was born in 1814, and patented the saxophone family of instruments in 1846. He actually invented the instrument over a period of years before the patent was filed, demonstrating the first - a bass saxophone in the key of C in 1841 or 1842. He was about 25 to 30 years old during the process of invention

Sax's patent was dated 1846, so the actual invention came sometime in the previous few years.
