The ___MASK19___ ( also referred to as the sax ) is a family of woodwind instruments . Saxophones are usually made of brass and played with a single - reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet . The ___MASK19___ family was invented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1840 . Adolphe Sax wanted to create a group or series of instruments that would be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds , and the most adaptive of the brass instruments , that would fill the vacant middle ground between the two sections . He patented the ___MASK19___ on June 28 , 1846 , in two groups of seven instruments each . Each series consisted of instruments of various sizes in alternating transposition . The series pitched in B and E , designed for military bands , have proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series . Instruments from the so - called " orchestral " series , pitched in C and F , never gained a foothold , and the B and E instruments have now replaced the C and F instruments when the ___MASK19___ is used in an orchestra . Lodewijk Rudolf Arthur Parisius ( July 23 , 1911 in Suriname -- December 14 , 1963 ) was a Surinamese / Dutch tenor saxophonist commonly known as `` Kid Dynamite . '' He was noted for mixing jazz with Surinamese kaseko . He also supported Coleman Hawkins ' s popularity in the Netherlands . He died in a road accident in Germany . Kaseko is a musical genre from Suriname , a fusion of African , European and American styles . The term " kaseko " derives from " casser le corps " (" break the body ") which referred to a swift dance during the period when slavery was legal in the region . " Kaseko " is related to other local styles , such as " winti " and " kawina "; like them , it uses call - and - response vocals and complex rhythms . Instruments include drums , ___MASK19___ , trumpet and , sometimes , a trombone . The ___MASK16___ is a member of the percussion group of musical instruments . In the Hornbostel - Sachs classification system , it is a membranophone . Drums consist of at least one membrane , called a drumhead or ___MASK16___ skin , that is stretched over a shell and struck , either directly with the player ' s hands , or with a ___MASK16___ stick , to produce sound . There is usually a " resonance head " on the underside of the ___MASK16___ , typically tuned to a slightly lower pitch than the top drumhead . Other techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound , such as the thumb roll . Drums are the world ' s oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments , and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years . A ___MASK84___ is a musical instrument commonly used in classical and jazz ensembles . The ___MASK84___ group contains the instruments with the highest register in the brass family . ___MASK84___ - like instruments have historically been used as signaling devices in battle or hunting , with examples dating back to at least 1500 BC ; they began to be used as musical instruments only in the late - 14th or early 15th century . Trumpets are used in art music styles , for instance in orchestras , concert bands , and jazz ensembles , as well as in popular music . They are played by blowing air through almost - closed lips ( called the player ' s embouchure ), producing a " buzzing " sound that starts a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the instrument . Since the late 15th century they have primarily been constructed of brass tubing , usually bent twice into a rounded rectangular shape . The ___MASK58___ is a musical instrument in the brass family . Like all brass instruments , sound is produced when the player ' s vibrating lips ( embouchure ) cause the air column inside the instrument to vibrate . Nearly all trombones have a telescoping ___MASK65___ mechanism that varies the length of the instrument to change the pitch . Many modern ___MASK58___ models also utilize a rotary valve as a means to lower pitch of the instrument . Variants such as the valve ___MASK58___ and superbone have three valves like those on the trumpet .
