Fred Jackson Tenor Saxophone

Very well built. Very stable and adjustable for different sizes of alto and tenor saxophone. Also adjust the height.

I got this lens after reading the thorough review at Fred Miranda forums. This lens is at home on a A7R body with the MF assist (focus peeking). It is a lens that makes you take a step back, slow down, compose and bring back the joys of photography rather than just pressing the AF button and snapping away. The lens has beautiful color and rendering that is already sharp wide open. What's really unique about this lens are the sunstars that form already by F/1.8 that you really can't get much with any other lens. Along with that we get 5 stops of IBIS, proper EXIF data and distance scale. The aperture control is also very precise and a joy to use. This is a lens that you really need to put some time with to learn which in return will reward you with beautiful pictures! I thought about getting the loxia 21mm f/2.8 but the better handling, f/1.4, 5 stop ibis instead of 3 of the loxia, exif data and how the voigtlander does things slightly better overall pushed me towards the voigtlander.

it picks up all the great sound , i use it for my alto saxophone its works great ,sounds great .

Very nice and well built reflector not only can it be used for recording vocals but also for saxophone too. worth the money!

I've worked with many saxophone players and I played woodwind instruments. Not saying that I am an expert but I do have some experience with wind instruments. I am keyboardists with years of working with sampled saxophones. The samples have become better over the years but SWAM physical modeling is superior for duplicating the nuances and articulations of a real sax player. The only weak link is me. I need to think sax and not keyboardist when I use the SWAM plugin. My wife is a musician and when I would try to emulate a sax she would say 'that doesn't sound real'. Then I let her listen to a song with the SWAM Sax she said 'WOW, that's not you you're trying to fool me'. You won't be sorry with the SWAM Sax Virtual Instrument.

I use it with my iPad for backing tracks for vocal and saxophone solos. It works well and keeps me from having to coordinate with a sound person. I can control volume.

I use this product to connect my iPad for backing tracks for vocal and saxophone solos. I absolutely love it. I think it works very well.

When I bought this product. I was a little bit not confident on it. Once I started using it with my saxophone it was amazing clear crispy and nice.

Bought this for my daughter along with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo to record her saxophone playing. Perfect mic for sax, sound is open and sounded great with this combo. Exceeded my expectations for a $99 mic.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.
