Casio DH-100 Digital Midi Electronic Horn Saxophone Wind Synth. ($125 for the pair)
Built in Speaker. Runs from AA Batteries or AC Adaptor. Unit includes Auto Power Off to save batteries after 6 minutes of no use so no worries if you forget to turn it off. Feature can be disabled if desired.
Natural Breath control volume control. 6 built in sounds, (including a very nice Sax sound).
Easy switch to control Breath Mode On/Off.
Sound instantly Transposable via dedicated octave button.
This unit has already had the well known problematic output electrolytic capacitor replaced. Works perfect, sounds great.
Extra Mouthpieces included.
Can use Regular Saxophone fingering, OR an optional Flutaphone Recorder fingering can be used. The Owners Guide includes a comprehensive guide for using the alternate fingering.
The horn can be played without using the breath as well. Turn Breath Mode ON to "blow" to perform like a normal horn. Turn Breath Mode OFF and sounds can be produced just by fingering the note keys.
MIDI output allows you to connect and control external synths and modules giving access to unlimited sound possibilities and use Breath Control on your synths and modules and digital audio workstations.
(Have a second unit that requires the capacitor repair to be done. Very easy to do if you're at all handy with a soldering iron. I will include this 2nd unit at no cost. This one is missing its rear battery cover.)
