I would describe a saxhorn as a brasswind design created originally by Adolphe Sax in the 1840's of an upright horn which typically has a very tall bell. The valves could either be piston or rotary. A bass saxhorn would most commonly have been pitched in Eb but examples in other keys are also found.
