Real saxophones are used for non-musical purposes all the time. Sometimes they are simply hung on the wall<\/a> for their aesthetic value, or turned into works of art<\/a>, while other times they are converted to serve a functional purpose<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

However, the grand daddy of them all has to be the chandeliers that hang in the Hard Rock Cafes. In these chandeliers the functional and aesthetic combine together to provide a complex blending of iconic shapes, which are meant to convey the overall coolness<\/em> of the HRC.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how many of the HRC’s have these enormous lights in them (this one is in Los Angeles), but you have to admit, they are pretty damn spectacular. How would you like one of these hanging in your house?<\/p>\n

I’ve seen a number of different photographers post shots of chandeliers like those at the Hard Rock Cafes, and have always wondered: What kinds of saxophones make up these chandeliers? Are there any decent horns in there?<\/p>\n

I hope there are just junky, student horns past their prime, hanging around collecting dust. It would really be a shame if good, pro horns were hanging in the foyers of places like the Hard Rock Cafe. You’d almost want to go out on a rescue mission if there were. \ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n
