I believe the advent of the saxophone came about from Sax's wish to make
an octave sounding clarinet. Or just plain expermenting with a cone for
a body with a clarinet mouthpiece.

A Hungarian instrument,the Taragotta, that existed for years, is a
wooden conical bore instrument with a clarinet mouthpiece.
