Daniel Steiger Golden Saxophone Pendant

Description

On November 6th, a child was born in Belgium, whose name was fated to be heard around the world. Antoine (later to be known as Adolphe) Joseph Sax became well known by his wonderful creations. He displayed great musical ability, and his father, Joseph Sax, who was a renowned wind instrument maker, took great pains to encourage both his musical and his inventive genius. In 1846 Sax invented the instrument which bears his name. He made a foursome of instruments, the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone, adding four new voices to the world of music. We mark this invention with our golden saxophone pendant finished with yellow opal.
