Sigh. I have been summoned.

Let me tell you about how the saxophone is the incel of the musical instruments. The saxophone was invented by a balding manlet named Adolphe Sax in the 1840s. Pic related. He attempted suicide many times in his life but failed and survived to invent the saxophone.

>Sax faced many brushes with death. As a child he once fell from a height of three floors, hit his head on a stone and was believed dead. At the age of three, he drank a bowl full of acidic water mistaking it for milk,[4] and later swallowed a pin. He received serious burns from a gunpowder explosion, and once fell onto a hot cast-iron frying pan, burning his side. Several times he avoided accidental poisoning and asphyxiation from sleeping in a room where varnished furniture was drying. Another time young Sax was struck on the head by a cobblestone and fell into a river, almost dying.[5]

>His mother once said that "he's a child condemned to misfortune; he won't live." His neighbors called him "little Sax, the ghost".

Even though he invented the saxophone in the 1840s, it didn’t gain popularity until the 1920s after a bunch of negroes stole their instruments as they were discharged from military bands after World War One and started playing juke joints in New Orleans, a major troop transshipment port.

Sax never married and saw his instrument achieve success.

>In 1894 he died in poverty.
