That does not look like a saxophone. This is a saxophone.

What’s Japanese for ‘Many Scrotums’?

That’s pretty neat. Looks kind of like a child’s flute.

I wonder if there’s any kind of learning curve with that. Does it play the same way as a traditional sax?

I also wonder if this will lead to more children taking up the saxaphone. A smaller form factor is a good thing when you have to consider transportation. I wonder if the same principals can be applied to make smaller versions of other brass instruments.

Yes.

I’d post a picture of a white one here but I was unable to find one.

Careful what you say about the Sopranos, they know a few people that will tune you up.
