Career
Braith is known for playing multiple horns at once, a technique pioneered by Roland Kirk. He is credited with the invention of the Braithophone, a welded-together alto and soprano saxophone.[2]
Braith is featured in a mosaic in the 72nd street station of the Second Avenue Subway in the New York City Subway system.[3]
