OK - nice! Joe and Greg are both incorrect... the first saxophone that Adolf Sax invented was the baritone...
A great book on the saxophone is "The Devil's Horn"
 
Harmonica content:
Greg and I both play both instruments...
Greg is a very good harmonica and sax player ( and singer) check him out sometime!
Smo-Joe now only plays harmonica... very well I might say!
The harmonica family needs a baritone harmonica!
The harmonica and sax were invented around the same time period
