The Flutophone, like the Conn Song Flute and the Tonette, is similar to a
recorder but designed NOT to overblow to the higher octave. Your range is
thus limited to about one octave, but you need almost no sensitivity in how
hard you blow. As a PRE-recorder it is nearly perfect.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
