This web page lists known and reported instruments by Adolphe Sax as a service to scholars and owners of Sax instruments. The information can help with dating instruments and identifying models of instrument. The list supplements existing published information with data which would quickly become incomplete in printed form. The instruments listed are in one of the following categories:
Wherever possible one of the authors (Eugenia Mitroulia or Arnold Myers) has examined the item, but in other cases the information has come from the published catalogues, check-lists and websites of museums or from personal communications. Much information has come from the publications cited at the foot of the page. The listing of Sax instruments by Malou Haine and Ignace de Keyser in Catalogue des instruments Sax au Musée Instrumental de Bruxelles published in 1980, Robert Howe's Invention and Early Development of the Saxophone, and Sax 200: Catalogue Published on the Occasion of the Exhibition organized by the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels from 8 February 2014 to 11 January 2015 with text by by Géry Dumoulin have been particularly useful. The authors welcome comments, corrections and further information, e-mail: a.myers[at]ed.ac.uk
This list contains information on all known brass instruments made in the workshop of Antoine Joseph (Adolphe) Sax (1814-94), all saxophones made by their inventor, and all other instruments made by Adolphe Sax in Paris. Some instruments by Adolphe-Edouard Sax (Sax fils) are listed, especially when there is a possibility they may have been designed by Adolphe Sax, but no attempt has been made to list all the instruments by the son of rather common design.
Some of the instruments are extant, some lost long ago, and some reported in living memory but not now located. Some instruments, such as the Besson & Co. collection (exhibited at the Royal Military Exhibition of 1890) seem to have disappeared. Such instruments have been included in this list as examples of Sax's production and in case they come to light in the future. Un-numbered instruments or instruments where we cannot be certain that they were made in the Sax workshop are listed (approximately) in the chronological sequence or at the end.
The instruments are presented in order of serial number (which we believe to be chronological) or date. The dating of instruments follows the the scheme of Robert Howe (2003) until 1853. From 1854 onwards Howe's scheme, and that of Malou Haine and Ignace De Keyser have been refined according new information that has since come to light, see Mitroulia (2014). This information in most cases derives from additional inscriptions on instruments containing the year of manufacture and in some cases from primary sources that refer to particular instruments and the time of their manufacture. Some of the data about technical details and inscriptions has been recorded at first hand, and some is taken from correspondence or publications. Since the data has been obtained from various sources, the amount of information on each instrument varies. In particular, the inscriptions are recorded to differing levels of detail by different cataloguers and as a result descriptions of the inscriptions are not entirely uniform. A full entry includes:
Antoine Joseph (Adolphe) Sax (1814-94) |
Adolphe Edouard Sax (1859-1945) |
