==Appearances==
===Music Land===
The Saxophone Prince is first seen sitting on his throne in the Isle of Jazz while his father, the Saxophone King, tries to make sure he is around. Feeling bored of watching the residents play jazz music inside, he sees the Land of Symphony from a distance where he sees the Violin Princess from her balcony using his telescope. He then uses a raft so he can get attracted to the Princess. He enters the Land of Symphony's grounds unaware of a "Keep Out" sign outside the entrance. Upon approaching the Violin Princess, they both greet each other happily. However, the Princess refuses to be kissed by the Prince, as she feels too shy just as he chases her across the grounds.
Meanwhile, the Cello Queen becomes angry for having a jazz instrument present in her kingdom, upon seeing the Saxophone Prince interacting with the Princess. The Prince attempted to kiss the Princess, but accidentally kissed the Queen instead. Furious about this, the Saxophone Prince is arrested by a group of Violin Guards sent by the Queen to arrest him for having a jazz instrument in the kingdom. With the Prince placed in his cell in a metronome, he writes a note for help which he gives to a bird to deliver it to his father. This, however, begins a war between the Isle of Jazz and the Land of Symphony as both genres of music begins to feud in the form of a war, resulting in a battle on the sea.
When a musical note hits the area where the Prince was jailed where his jail cell was destroyed, the Saxophone Prince plans to rescue the Violin Princess who is about to fall into the sea, both rulers from the Isle of Jazz and Land of Symphony notice their children on the sea. The Saxophone Prince attempts to rescue the Violin Princess just as both of them are about to sink into the sea. However, the Saxophone King and Cello Queen both rescue their respective children, just as both rulers from their respective islands stop the war between both kingdoms.
During a wedding between both residents of their respective islands, the Violin Princess accepts that she will marry the Saxophone Prince. As a result, the Violin Princess and Saxophone Prince are married, resulting all the instruments to cheer for their wedding, followed by the Cello Queen and Saxophone King being married as well, finally stopping the feud between both islands, putting both genres of music in harmony. The Saxophone Prince and Violin Princess continue their celebration on the Bridge of Harmony with all the instruments from the respective islands in peace.
