ABSTRACT:
A saxophone comprises a tube member having one end portion gradually decreased in diameter toward a mouth piece, and a plurality of tone holes and an octave hole are formed in the tube member and the mouth piece, respectively, in association with a key mechanism and an octave key, wherein an enlarged portion is formed in one end portion of the tube member and larger in the inner diameter than adjacent portions thereof so that the depressed octave key allows the tube member to exactly produce a tone exactly twice as large in pitch as the previous tone.
