[Answer] 3. Branded early on as a novelty instrument it developed such a strong solo identity that it nearly upstaged the trumpet as the primary jazz instrument. What is this tool that was created by Adolphe Sax in 1846 for military bands?

...1. Saxophone 2. Bassoon 3. Flute 4. Oboe The alto and tenor saxophones almost dominated music in the late 1930's and during the 1940's. Initially this was achieved through the talents of Johnny Hodges and his romantic tones and then through Charlie Parker's bushfire of reshuffled harmonies and uneven phrasing. Big bands would carry as many as five saxophone players. This included two tenors, the most expressive of all jazz instruments, able to produce those earthy, low register sounds but, as best shown by John Coltrane, could be extended to a soprano range. There would also be two altos and a baritone. The saxophone is a very agile instrument and is able to cover both the melodic and harmonic roles within a big band. During the ensemble sections they are best suited to run with the faster passages that would prove extremely tough for the brass section.
