Since this appears to be a response to something I wrote, I will answer.
The rounded ring keys are part of the slightly "funky" keywork I mentioned,
which I do hope Selmer USA would some day deem worthwhile to redesign.
Yes, they do irritate me -- for about the first 30 seconds or so I play
with them. After that I don't even notice any more. As for loose tenon
joints, try recorking. It may help even if the wobble is really caused by
sloppy manufacturing tolerances creating too loose a fit between plastic
parts. As for Artleys, to each his own.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
