Get the alto saxophone player mug.One of several instruments in the saxaphone family. The saxaphone is often confused with the saxophone, a wind instrument invented by Adolphe Sax in 1840. Saxaphone is a word used by uneducated simpletons that need to spend more time near a dictionary and less time trying to associate themselves with the many facets of coolness offered by the saxophone and legitimate saxophone players world-wide.

Get the alto saxaphone mug.A good instrument to play, not to big, not to small either. The neck strap can become somewhat annoying at points. Overall it's a good saxophone to play and it makes a great tone. When played with others it can have a great melody and harmony, overall it is a good instrument for a band and people think their instruments are better than you but it's all lies. The Alto Saxophone will always be the best instrument!! :)
