Thanks!
it’s great for practicing and not disturb anyone, it’s ideal for me as i’m trying to play fly me to the moon from memory along side the backing track. So i’m constantly replaying the same 4 bars lots of times to memorise them, which would annoy anyone nearby on my alto sax.

Also on play back of a recording, it shows up how bad some of my key presses are out of sync with tonguing a new note –
pressing a new key before blowing
blowing before pressing a new key
blowing and pressing a key at the same time – which is what should be done on the emeo

ex if you just touch the octave key and blow it plays high C# so if you play a high F and you dont press both the octave and F keys at the same time you could end up playing a high C# quickly followed by a high F.

So it’s made me tighten up my fingering. great for practicing fingering, timing and blowing and tonguing. Also it is lighter on the neck than my alto is on my neck.

i had to buy one William so i can practice silently in the coming months so as not to disturb other family members, it’s only for a year or two.

Also it’s a good thing i bought it, as my alto fell out of its case onto the floor and the repair shop won’t be able to fix it until March.

I can still play the alto, but the low Bb and Low B don’t work as their pads have moved out of place, the rest of the notes work ok but the sax is now harder to blow than before.
