Work in groups of three or four. Discuss whether the verb forms in the following text are correct or not. Correct the wrong ones. A saxophone are a single reed, woodwind instrument first developed in the mid-1800s by Adolphe Sax. It is composed of a mouthpiece, conical metal tube, and finger keys. Sound is produced when air is blown through the instrument causing the reed to vibrate. This sound are amplified as it travels through the instrument's main body. Saxophones consists of numerous parts and pieces which are made separately as then assembled. Saxophones is primarily made from brass. Brass is a composite alloy made up of metals including copper, tin, nickel, and zinc. The most common type used for instruments are yellow brass which contains 70% copper and 30% zinc. Other types includes gold brass and silver brass which have different ratios. The zinc in brass makes the alloy workable at lower temperatures. The saxophone tube is a long, metal tube which steadily get wider at one end. It have holes drilled in the side at specific spots to create notes. When all the holes are closed, the instrument work much like a bugle amplifying the sound of the vibrating reed. When a hole is opened, the sound is modified producing a different note. The conical shape of the saxophone make the overtones octaves. This makes fingering easier because the higher-pitched notes are produced with the same fingering as lower-pitched ones.
