The Saxhorn is a type of brass instrument that is similar to the TUBA. It is a conical-bore, valved brass instrument that was developed in the early 19th century and is still used today. The Saxhorn is usually pitched in either E♭ or B♭ and is typically used in military bands and orchestras. The term 'Saxhorn' is derived from the name of its inventor, Adolphe Sax, who also invented the saxophone.
