Have you got 8 acr ? Another AB person has suggested about 4 different answers but a reply firmly stated SAXON ! I've trawled my books/google and can't find "SAXON" as an instrument. I found a saxonette, but I'm sure puzzled by this one.

[Rollo]

A SAXON is not an instrument, it is a German.

The instrument is a Sax(ophone).

8 Across: Instrument connected with old German.

instrument = sax,connected = on,old german = saxon.
