Musical instruments; Sax. Photographer: Ferrier, Claude-Marie
- Scope & Content:
-
View of a display case containing wind instruments made by Adolphe Sax. The instruments received the Council Medal in the class, 'for his invention of several new classes of wind instruments, in wood and metal … Among the inventors of musical instruments, the highest distinction is due to the merits of M. Adolphe Sax, whether considered with regard to the variety, excellence, or the utility of his inventions. His creation of the entire class of Sax-horns, and Sax-trumpets, has produced the most satisfactory results, in the total revolution of military music. Both in the theatre and the concert-room, the two extremities of the vast instrumental scale can be introduced with important advantages ...' (p. 724). A print of this photograph was also shown at the 1852 Royal Society of Arts Photographic Exhibition.
