(75 × 68 × 21.3 cm), Aerophone-Lip Vibrated-trumpet / trombone, Adolphe (Antoine Joseph) Sax (Belgian, Dinant, Belgium 1814–1894 Paris), Sax’s system of six independent valves was devised to correct the intonation problems of typical three-valve instruments, which can sound out of tune when valves are used in combination.
