saxophone

The saxophone is a metal wind instrument made of brass, played by blowing air through a mouthpiece with a single reed. It produces sound when the player presses keys to open and close holes along its body, changing the pitch. Known for its warm, expressive tone, the saxophone is versatile across many musical genres, including jazz, classical, and pop. Its design allows for smooth, melodic lines and dynamic expression, making it a prominent and recognizable instrument in ensemble and solo performances.
