The Selmer Balanced Action saxophone was manufactured by Selmer from 1935 through 1947. It introduced a revolutionary new layout for the key table operating the G ♯ and low C ♯, B, and B ♭ keys. The layout solved long-standing deficiencies in those mechanisms and all modern saxophones have left hand key tables derived from this ...

A similar keyboard was developed by Larry Hanson [4] in 1942 for use with a 53 tone scale but turns the fifth sideways and the major third to the right and up. Keyboard note layout of the Harmonetta.

With a tubing length of nearly 4.9 metres (16 ft), the contrabass is approximately 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall. The tubax, developed by German instrument maker Benedikt Eppelsheim in the late 1990s, is a modern solution to this unwieldiness which adds a fourth bend, similar to the layout of a contrabass sarrusophone.
The most common keyboard layout in modern Russia is the so-called Windows layout, which is the default Russian layout used in the MS Windows operating system. This layout was designed to be compatible with the hardware standard in many other countries, but introduced compromises to accommodate the larger Russian alphabet.
The possibility of the duplication of pitches occurs because the generalized keyboard is, in principle, a mapping of pitches onto a closed space in which intervals and chords have fixed shapes under transposition across the keyboard; thus a generalized keyboard is a useful tool for the analysis of harmonic structures.
The clarinet and tenor saxophone player Jimmy Giuffre used a clarinet-style embouchure with a tenor saxophone with a specially-modified neck. [3] It is still commonly, and controversially, taught to beginning students as a shortcut to a passable result in lieu of more sustained effort developing embouchure strength and technique.
