The following 2 photos from Michel Coumans made me laugh this morning. I thought about how many times I’ve read about, or heard people assign human qualities to saxophones.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, I’ve probably done it a number of times myself. Let’s face it, it’s easy to do, since we play instruments which so closely mimic the human voice.<\/p>\n

However, I think this saxophone man is taking the anthropomorphization of saxophones to a whole new level. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

He kind of reminds me of a real life version of KCP’s cartoon saxophones<\/a> on SOTW. Coincidence? Or was this character inspired by Kim’s cartoons?<\/p>\n

Whatever the inspiration, this character is a symbolic representation\u2014perhaps an unintentional one\u2014of the saxophone’s very human-like, tonal qualities.<\/p>\n
