Sometimes these relatives are long-lost cousins that were built as musical instruments. Other times they were built for adult entertainment, or as children&#8217;s toys. But one thing that these sax-shaped &#8220;things&#8221; all share, is that they were all inspired by Adolphe Sax&#8217;s most popular invention.<\/p>\n<p>The pages in this section of my website are dedicated to some interesting saxophone-shaped instruments that I have stumbled across. If you have one that you&#8217;d like to share, or know of one that should be included, <a href=\"mailto:bassic.sax.info@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">let me know<\/a>. Thanks!<\/p>\n<p>I also have <a href=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/vintage-saxes\/sax-shaped-things\/vintage-print-ads-for-sax-shaped-things\/\">a page dedicated to all the ads and catalogue pages<\/a> on these sax-shaped things. The galleries are broken down by decade from 1900 &#8211; 1990.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-17\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-17 mtr-table mtr-tr-td\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1 mtr-td-tag\" data-mtr-content=\"Blow Accordions\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/vintage-saxes\/sax-shaped-things\/blow-accordions\" rel=\"nofollow \">Blow Accordions<\/a><\/div><\/td><td class=\"column-2 mtr-td-tag\" data-mtr-content=\" \"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-13254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?resize=512%2C512&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/8.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\"><\/a> <\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1 mtr-td-tag\" data-mtr-content=\"Blow Accordions\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/vintage-saxes\/sax-shaped-things\/harmonicas\">Harmonica<\/a><\/div><\/td><td class=\"column-2 mtr-td-tag\" data-mtr-content=\" \"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Right-Side.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Right-Side.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Radio, Doraphone, vintage, German, harmonica\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Right-Side.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Right-Side.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Right-Side.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\"><\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1 mtr-td-tag\" data-mtr-content=\"Blow Accordions\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/vintage-saxes\/sax-shaped-things\/metal\">Metal Saxophone-Shaped Toys &amp;
