A 3.5mm auxiliary input jack and Bluetooth audio receiver makes it easy to play along with your favourite backing tracks, all delivered through the headphone output or the front-mounted speaker. A soprano saxophone style bell is fitted to the end of the instrument to provide a unique aesthetic and acoustic appeal, and to enable the player to use most conventional soprano saxophone stands to carefully store or display their instrument.
