Yamaha WX5 Next Generation Wind MIDI Controller Reviews
Feature: Saxophone B fingering is best for my use. It's convenient to have both a recorder-style and sax-style mouthpiece (the latter providing lip-pressure as well as the standard wind sensitivity).
Quality: It's light, it's plastic. But, it's well built.
Sound: Coupled with Yamaha's VL-70M with Patchman Music's chip installed, this sound is exceptional, given the limitations of synthesis. Try playing a little Bird or Sanborn, and it'll inspire you.
Overall: This is a "keeper". Now I can play sax at midnight without waking anyone. If it's good enough for pros, like Tom Scott, then it's certainly good enough for a dabbler like me!
