Interesting experience but I didn't buy one.
I entirely sympathise with that!
I was one of the first people to comment and support its inventor and to have one of these sent home. I even thought to become the Benelux distributor for this horn.
The higher one flies the harder one falls.
What an incredible let down it was!
To tell the truth they did improve on what I was sent BUT whatever improvement they might have put this thing through it wouldn’t convince me to buy one. In my immodest opinion this thing is not worth my money although anyone is free to waste his however they see fit.
The only thing that perhaps is a valid point is that this thing won’t be produced in the millions, as probably its inventor hopes, and it will acquire some value in time as an oddity. If you want a saxophone that is a bit iffy the way it plays and the way it closes or is mechanically operating, you can buy, for less, a multicoloured Chinese thing.
Maybe not a conversation piece of the same caliber as a white plastic saxophone weighing 1 Kg. but hey, at least is quite a bit cheaper.
Maybe they will get better.
Maybe........they certainly did after the first round but the question is and stays “ Why?”.
There must be a reason for everything and this hasn’t got one that makes to much sense to me.
Some people will indeed appreciate the fact that it weighs 1 Kg. but it is more expensive than a Chinese sax and it has more and more fundamental problems.
so.......no reason why, aside for novelty. Novelty won’t carry on forever.
