The history of the saxophone can be traced back over 150 years. It
was invented by Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax. He was an expert
instrument maker and talented musi- cian. The saxophone was
patented on March 20, 1846. It has since become a necessity in
every band due to its tonal beauty and versatility.
The first saxophone, a C bass, was displayed for the first time, in
1841, to the famous composer, Hector Berlioz. He was amazed at its
versatility, unique tone, and control of dynamics. In 1842, Sax
moved to Paris to introduce his new instrument to the rest of the
world. Soon to follow was the creation of an entire saxophone
family: 13 different saxophones in all. Each differed by size and
pitch. They were the: E flat sopranino, F sopranino, B flat
soprano, C soprano, E flat alto, F alto, B flat tenor, C tenor, E
flat baritone, B flat bass, C bass, E flat contrabass, and F
contrabass. Many of these variations, however, are seldom used or
have become obsolete.
The saxophone finally became an integral part of all bands in 1845.
This is the year of the famous “battle of the bands”. The French
Army band was still using “traditional” instru- mentation. Sax saw
this as an opportunity to show the world how the saxophone could
improve the tonal quality in all bands. He suggested a contest
between an army band composed of the original orchestral
instrumentation against a band with an instrumentation that
included saxophones. Sax’s band of twenty-eight men, compared to
the French Army band of thirty-five, overwhelmed the crowd. That
day, the saxophone was officially introduced into the French Army
Band and soon to all other bands.
Today, many people enjoy the wonderful music produced by the
saxophone. The beautiful sound of a sax quintet or a blaring jazz
soloist can be heard all around the world. The saxophone has become
a part of almost every style of music. It is being played
everywhere from night clubs to football fields. The saxophone is
truly one of the great musical instruments in our existence.

The flute is one of the oldest instruments in history. Because the
flute has evolved over the last 8000 years, there are many
controversies regarding its origin and flute history in general.
However, in 1986 and 1987, a number of wind instruments, those
resembling the flute, made of animal bones were unearthed in
central China. Dating tests indicated that these bone flutes were
about 8,000 years old. Because of this latest discovery, it is
believed that the origin of the flute derives from eastern
influence, making the Chinese flute the oldest known flute.
Western civilization, in regard to flute history, can be dated back
as early as 200 B.C.; Greco/Roman artifacts include the drawings of
wooden flutes. After the fall of Rome, the flute seemed to
disappear from history. In 1000 A.D., however, the flute was
re-introduced to western europe, most likely by way of German
influence.
However, when discussing modern day concert flutes, one may
attribute this invention to the well known Theobald Boehm, a German
born flute maker and flautist. In 1847, Boehm invented the
cylindrical body, a foot joint and a parabolic head joint, larger
tone holes and padded cups for each hole. The flute that most
children and professional flautists use today was truly invented by
Boehm; there have been only minor modifications since 1847
regarding the components of the flute.

Clarinet
During the late 1600s, before the clarinet existed, the chalumeau,
considered the first true reed instrument, was used by musicians.
Johann Christoph Denner and his son Jacob improved the chalumeau by
inventing the speaker key. This gave the instrument a greater
register and because of this Johann Christoph Denner is recognized
as the inventor of the clarinet, a predecessor of the chalumeau.
Unlike other woodwind instruments, the clarinet has a cylindrical
bore giving it its distinct sound.
During the late 1700’s, the clarinet underwent many improvements
and innovations. The cut or shape of the tone holes was
experimented on to see how it affected the sound of the clarinet.
The keys were also altered, the man responsible for these
innovations was, Iwan Muller who developed the 13 keyed model,
known today as the German system.
In the mid-1800’s, the Boehm fingering system which was developed
by Theobald Boehm for the flute, was adapted to the clarinet by
Hyacinthe Klose and Auguste Buffet. This is the fingering system
that has remained popular to this day, but there are also other
fingering systems used in Germany and Austria.

Bassoon
Bassoon
The modern bassoon has a colourful and complex past. It evolved
from a 16th century instrument known by a variety of names – curtal
or curtail (English), basson or fagot (French), dulcian or fagott
(German), fagotto (Italian), and bajon (Spanish). These ancestors
of the bassoon, which were also played with a double reed, were
fashioned out of a single piece of wood, rather than the four
separate sections common to todays bassoon.
In the early 17th century, the curtal came in six sizes rang- ing
in length from as short as 15 to as long as 4 9. It was the French
who later in that same century transformed the one-piece bass
curtal into the four-piece instrument.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the bassoon was gradually
improved and refined. It evolved from the 1713 three-key model
played during the time of Mozart to six keys during Haydn’s time to
the present 17 to 24 key versions of today. Two schools of
bassoon-making arose in the 1880’s: the French school under Buffet
and the German school under Heckel. Each had it own solutions to
tone production, fingering and intonation.
Today the bassoon is used extensively in the symphony orchestra,
opera, and most recently in the contemporary musicals of the 20th
century, television, and movie soundtracks. Innumerable composers
have written for the bassoon, particularly during the 18th century,
and the repertoire includes impressive parts in orchestral scores,
woodwind ensemble music and many bassoon solo concertos.
