Hi all,
I am wondering how to best express the instrumentation in my title.
The actual instrumentation is (3 players) soprano saxophone, alto saxophone and steel pans.

My thoughts so far:
1. "My New Piece" for two saxophones (S/A) and steel pans.
2. "My New Piece" for soprano saxophone, alto saxophone and steel pans.
3. "My New Piece" for soprano & alto saxophone and steel pans.

I think I like 1 best... what do you think?!
Hector.
EDIT: or 4. "My New Piece" for two saxophones (soprano/alto) and steel pans.

I would also go for 2. Maybe you should add which steel pan you want e.g. tenor, guitar, cello etc. Also it is not clear whether you are using more than one steel pan and if there is one or more players (I assume one).
