i could see this making a great prank or gag. Show up to a gig with it and say to the band.. Sorry guys, I packed the wrong horn, we're gonna have to play everything in Db today... :) Nice overtones by the way!

How do they do that? Whenever I try for overtones, I'm lucky if I ger the note after the octave.

this is the first time i will ever say an instrument sounds ugly

I would love to play one of those with my Fat Neck that I use for my cannonball x]

Hollywoodwinds is the only company making keyless sax, Hollywoodwinds make keyless alto saxophone and keyless tenor saxophone, soprano and baritone are special order only.

I can't believe I never heard of a "keyless" saxophone before.

good job working with what you had, but what's the point... dumb instrument.

@thinkbigize This is an instrument for practice . . . mastery of overtones and low register, without having to worry about squeezing down all the keys. This demonstration simply shows what is possible. It is certainly not intended for performance!
