The first Saxophone was created by Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax in 1841. The first saxophone is what is commonly called a barri saxophone today. In the end there was 14 variations of a saxophone. Mr. Sax also created the baritone and the saxhorn that did not catch on to music. His orinal goal to replace orchestra instruments did not happen.

∙ 14y agoThe Clarinet's predecessor was the chalumeau--the first true single reed instrument. It appeared in the late 1600's and wasn't very flexible and had a range of about 1.5 octaves. The usual symphonic orchestration at the middle of the eighteenth century gave all the essential musical material to the strings, and used the winds only for doubling, reinforcing, and filling in the harmonies.
Clarinet became popular from the second half of the 18th century and established a place in the orchestra. Its potential as a solo instrument was recognised in opera, symphony, concerto and oratorio. When the clarinet first began to occupy a place in the score, it was not so much side by side with the oboes as in place of them. Clarinets step into the place vacated for the time being by the oboes. It is interesting to note that when Mozart added the clarinet part to Symphony No. 40 (K550), he rewrote the Oboe parts so that they never play together except in tuttis. Clarinets were found to be better partners for horns than oboes. Mozart was the first to exploit the rich lower register of the clarinet.
