Sacophone, I t is f u l l , s o f t , v i b r a t i n g , extremely

to the lower tones o f the o p h i c l e i d e , in accuracy
as wel l as i n the s o l i d i t y of the sound. But the
c h a r a c t e r o f the sound is a b s o l u t e l y new, and does
not resemble any o f the timbres heard up t i l l now
in our o r c h e s t r a s , wi t h the sol e exception of the
b a s s - c l a r i n e t ' s l ower E and F. Owing to i t s reed,

saxophones can be used 1n any kind o f music;
but they are p a r t i c u l a r l y s ui t ed to slow and
tender compositions.
The high tones of low saxophones have a
p l a i n t i v e and sorrowful c h a r a c t e r ; t h e i r low
t ones, however, have a sublime and, as i t were,
p r i e s t l y calm. Al l saxophones, e s p e c i a l l y the
bar i t one and bass, can swell and di mi ni sh t h e i r
sound; t h i s permits e n t i r e l y new and qu i t e
p e c u l i a r sound e f f e c t s in the extremel y iow
range, which bear some resemblance to the tones
of the "expressi ve organ". The sound of the
high saxophones is much more p e n e t r a t i n g than
t h a t of the c l a r i n e t s in Bb and C wi t hout having
the sharp and of t en p i e r c i n g tone of the small
c l a r i n e t i n Eb. The same can be said of the
soprano saxophone.9

measured on a 400 cycle tone. Noise is measured after erasing
a signal of peak recording lCvel in the absence of new signal. Bias,

DESCRIPTION
The Model 71.0B/801B Spectrum Analyzer is a solid
state, electronically swept system which provides a display
o f the 10 H z to 50 kH z frequency range on a 7 x 10 cm
calibrated C R T . Increased measurement accuracies arc ac
complished by the use o f a new Automatic Optimum Reso
lution Circuitry. Proper sweeptimes and I.F . bandwidths are
automatically selected for any scanwidth setting. Manual
selection o f I.F . bandwidth and sweeptime is also available
over the complete range.
The Model 710B /801B provides a tracking oscillator out
put signal and a choice o f either logarithmic or linear fre
quency scan, in addition to all other features o f the Model
710B /800B Spectrum Analyzer. The coherence o f the
tracking oscillator and the analyzer scanning signals allows
accurate frequency response measurement for systems and
components without the masking o f peaks and nulls by
harmonics, noise, and hum. This instrument is extremely
versatile and easy to use for many audio measurements in-
