I wanted something to work on the sax apart.
I discovered a new instrument!

The fingering can be almost identical to the sax, but Keys are here just a piece of metal, they are barely touched upon, and note changes.
Management octaves is amazing, there is a series of rollers to achieve the 5-octave range .... hard at first, almost off-putting ... but ultimately it is.
My opinion of the Comptroller of mouth is mixed, indeed for the power of breath, he is fine, except that the airflow is a little weak for my taste, but more unsettling with the mouth, the vibrato effects, we must dig into the rubber lip! ... defaulted too expressive for my taste, it is still too hard to bite me ...
Two pitches for the right thumb, super hard to master, I disabled this feature.

The software is sold with a lot on the sounds of strings (cello, bass), not bad on the double reeds (horns, ...), but no, no, no one on the sounds of saxes.
The change is super long so its impossible to do on stage.
If there is a problem of land, the sax work anymore, so do not play barefoot.

Overall, this sax fulfilled the goals I set myself, that is the sax work in the apartment at 3 am, deep sax sound correct.
