The answer is we probably know who really did make the first true violin. His name was Andrea Amati, and he lived in the northern Italian city of Cremona in the 15th century. The first violin we have made by Andrea Amati even has a date - 1465! It's thought that A. Amati's first violins were made about 10 to 30 years before that.
The piano is thought to have been invented in 1709 in Italy by Bartolomeo Christofori (1655 - 1732). He called his new instrument 'Gravicembalo col piano e forte' or harpsichord with soft and loud.
Saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax, in 1840. He was a born in Belgium and was known as an instrument-maker, flautist, and clarinetist working in Paris. For 15 years, he did not receive his patent for this instrument. He manufactured these saxophones in almost all sizes and finally received his license on June 28, 1846. During the patent time i.e, 1846-1866 only the Sax company could manufacture saxaphones.
