Circa 1846: Belgian musical instrument designer Antoine-Joseph Sax wants to create an instrument that will become the most powerful of the woodwinds, and the most adaptive of the brass. The result of this wish was the conical-bore saxophone, which he patented on June 23 of that year. The instrument mainly created to be used in orchestras and bands; forged a strong association with Jazz, a genre that enjoyed great popularity in the earlier part of the 20th century and went on to create ripples on the global music scene, including India.
