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
