A Belgian maker of musical instruments who invented the saxophone (1814-1894)
1I "breakfasted" again and again with Adolphe Sax, and had always the same fare-"unbifteck et des oeufs sur le plat."
2But the saxophone has penetrated far beyond that particular world, which, of course, didn't exist when Adolphe Sax patented his new instrument in 1846.
3The Wagner tuba was made by Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone and had its first outing in 1875 for Wagner's Das Rheingold.
