I’m not exactly sure why, but I very much enjoy the saxophone.

Fun Fact! Several renditions of “Master of the House” from Les Misérables use the Saxophone, this is despite the fact the Saxophone was invented in 1846 and Les Mis takes place in 1832.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!!
What instrument is most synonymous with the musical style of jazz? Some might say the trumpet or the piano but for my money, the answer is clear: the saxophone. Created in 1846 by Belgian instrument builder, Adolphe Sax, the phone that carries his name was meant to be the bridge between brass and woodwind instruments. Over time, it was clear that its distinct sound and wide dynamic range made it especially suited to improvisational solos. Maybe that's why it was picked up by famous jazz aficionados like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Maybe that's why the instrument seems to stand out whenever it is brought into a piece. That's not always the case. More subdued or "classical" saxophones do exist. Heck, there is nothing that says the instrument has to be used in a jazz composition. Still, it is something to think about. Whatever the case, nothing beats that saxophone sound, solo or otherwise. Unique, prolific, and stylish to boot. The saxophone is most definitely wonderful.

I love a fantasy series, but I also love these little moments when the characters acknowledge what kind of crazy world they live in, or how utterly absurd it really is.
Also, this is the giant saxophone...and every other instrument, really.
