    It has its own section between the flutes (or whatever their section is called) and the brass section. The mouthpiece is like from a flute but the instrument is made from brass. I learnt this in the Adolphe Sax museum in Belgium, no less :D

    Is it something of a trick question?

    e.g. cameos by someone like Oliver Stone or Quentin Tarantino in their own movies?

    no, this is an actor who never directed a movie.
    an aside - he was never nominated for an oscar for his roles.

    We got one in a quiz the other evening: 'Sheep can fly - true or false?'. It is true apparently. I have been too lazy to google it since.
