@BigJackBrass @brian Sent this to my friend who's a tenor player. He replied, "Only 40 made so not sure what the demand was and who wants a saxophone that sounds like an english horn?"

@brian I sometimes dream of stumbling upon one of those old white plastic Grafton alto saxophones - the kind that Ornette played on Shape of Jazz to Come - in a local charity shop
What a gorgeous instrument!

And that is surely the real question here. Just get an English horn…
