"Dear reader!
It was a great pleasure for me to have original instruments of Adolphe Sax on my desk for several times. Apart from measuring them, some of these instruments were in a playable condition. Their charming character left a persuasive impression behind.
Unlike many other people, who might want to obtain such an instrument for themselves, it was my idea to build an instrument with a similar bore profile, but then with a more fully equipped and more modern mechanism. The question arises whether or not we have lost 'something' in the course of history by straightening the cone and if so, at the expense of or in the favour of what?
This started a new project and a new chapter to my website, which chapter will keep close track of the developments of this project. Pages will be added, supplemented and be rewritten as the project unfolds.
But there is a beginning; keep on reading!
vriendelijke groeten,

Among musicians little is known about the physics of the saxophone.
Written as much as possible in daily language,
this site seeks to reduce the saxophone to common sense.
