Kenny G plays the saxophone, specifically the Selmer Mark VI soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones. He has also created his own line of saxophones called "Kenny G Saxophones". In an interview, he revealed that the saxophone he used in all the songs he has ever recorded and every show he has ever played is his high school saxophone. He started playing the saxophone when he was 10 years old after seeing someone play a saxophone solo on the Ed Sullivan Show.
