Apparently he suffered a stroke and had a saxophone adapted to play using just his right hand.

Amazing stuff ! It inspires me not to worry about gear and get on and play.

Totally amazing... and I'm whinging over a painful shoulder

I am pretty sure there was an article two or three years ago in Saxophone Journal about this guy, the article also detailed the process of building a prototype horn - based on a Selmer Bundy and then finally building a pro model horn based on a Yamaha Custom Series horn - apparently Eugene Rousseau through his contacts with Yamaha arranged for Yamaha to supply the components for the pro horn and some very clever repair guy in the US building the complicated keywork. The prototype student horn was then given to a young boy who had lost his arm to an accident or an illness.
Very inspiring story.
Keep on blowin'
Regards,
Greg Strange.
