: Why are saxophones not commonly included in orchestras?
In: 185
I have inherited my dad’s C-melody saxophone he played in a dance band/orchestra in the 1940s. His band was the Nighthawks. The band included an accordion, piano, and violin. Unconventional, but that band was one of a handful of bands that existed around that time. They played in dance halls around the area. I realize that this isn’t the ‘normal’ orchestra because they played modern music at the time and not classical.
