Context:
This clarinet in b flat is marked C. Sax for Charles Joseph Sax (1791-1865) whose son Adolphe invented the saxophone. The quality, tone, and forms of musical instruments are largely determined by the materials chosen for their construction. Elephant-tusk ivory, a particularly adaptable but exotic material, has long been employed in fashioning instrument's of great value, though it is no longer used by ethical craftsmen.
