Because the Saxophone was invented after the Symphony Orchestra. The sax is incorporated into some songs for Symphony orchestra because those pieces are quite modern. I guess symphony orchestras don't like saxophones because it drowns out other instruments because it is such a loud woodwind. But, of course, the saxophone is great in jazz bands and modern pieces.

∙ 14y agoThere are three reasons a guitar is not in an orchestra: (1) The guitar is a very soft-sounding instrument. It would take quite a number of Guitars (at least five) to compete with the volume produced by the rest of the instruments. (2) The sound produced by a guitar is also not compatible with the established corps of instruments - brass, woodwind, strings, and percussion. HOWEVER, THE MAIN REASON is: (3) Classical Music composers do not write guitar parts into their compositions on a regular basis. If they are absent from composers' scores the vast majority of the time, then there is really no need to have them around all the time as you would a violin or a cello.

∙ 13y agoIt is in some orchestras. It wasn't invented until the mid-19th century, so it wasn't used in orchestras before that time, and it's still not terribly common in orchestras today because many composers since then didn't want to make use of its particular sound. But they can definitely be found in some -- they even make saxophones in concert pitch.

∙ 7y agoThe saxophone was invented in the 1840s. By that time, instrumentation in the symphony orchestra had become standardized, so there wasn't a place for the sax in it.
