While on my hunt for interesting vintage saxophones on eBay—and other on-line sources—I sometimes come across some very interesting relatives of our beloved instruments. Sometimes these relatives are long-lost cousins that were built as musical instruments. Other times they were built for adult entertainment, or as children’s toys. But one thing that these saxophone-shaped “things” all share, is that they were all inspired by Adolphe Sax’s most popular invention.
The pages in this section of my website are dedicated to some interesting sax-shaped instruments that I have stumbled across. If you have one that you’d like to share, or know of one that should be included, please say “hi” in the Guest Book and tell me about it. I will connect with you through there, and if you’ve got pics you’d like to share we can make arrangements to get them to me. Thanks!
I also have a page dedicated to all the ads and catalogue pages on these sax-shaped things. (Updated page coming soon.) The galleries are broken down by decade from 1900 – 1990.
Note for 2025
It should go without saying that this section, like the rest of the site, is a work in progress. As more of the site gets restored, more pages and links will appear. 😉
