Soprano ophicleide in B-flat

Soprano ophicleide in B-flat. Culture: French. Dimensions: 25 11/16 × 6 13/16 × 11 1/2 in. (65.2 × 17.3 × 29.2 cm). Maker: Adolphe (Antoine Joseph) Sax (Belgian, Dinant, Belgium 1814-1894 Paris). Date: mid-19th century.
The ophicleide is a low brass instument that was used in bands and orchestras during the nineteenth century. It was replaced by the tuba.
In seeking to create a loud, low woodwind instrument, Adolphe Sax experimented with placing a bass clarinet mouthpiece on an ophicleide. This idea spawned the first saxophone.
