According to Hofmann and Goebl (2014) sax is an instrument that produced expressive sound on a single reed wood-wind with highly intricate motor task, that demands coordination among the finger, aural cavity and respiration. This woodwind instrument, which is frequently misidentified as a brass instrument, produces a wide range of sounds depending on the artist and their demands by using a mouthpiece and a single reed linked to a bent brass body.
