If you haven't yet checked out the NMM's Sax family's saxophone collection, I highly recommend a virtual visit if you can't make the trip to the University of South Dakota.
Just last month they updated their website to reflect all 11 Sax (10 father & 1 son) saxophones in their collection.
I had done a blog entry on this, and that had caught the attention of the museum's senior curator, Dr. Margaret Downie Banks. She was kind enough to comment in order clarify a question I had posed in my post about the number of horns they had in their collection.
What's also interesting, is that the NMM has, as part of its Cutler Gallery, a quartet of Adolphe Sax Saxophones. All very pretty horns indeed.
