Belgian inventor Adolphe Sax originally invented 14 types of saxophone. Only soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone survived into common use. Two more can be found less commonly, bass and contrabass sax. It is also the youngest of the instruments being invented in 1846. The original design was to be for use in military bands and in 1903 Pope Pius X banned the saxophone from playing church music. A ban that is technically still in effect in some Orthodox circles.
