The Bundy II table key layout is just poorly conceived. The angles
are bad, the leverage is bad, the C# has tremendous slop in its
action. When starting from scratch, working for the company that
imports the saxes made by the company that created the "Balanced
Action" design with the right-side bell keys, you would think they
could have done a much better job.

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