Has anybody seen this yet?

It's similar to the Linton contrabass clarinet:

A nice sound, and a very impressive look...

To directly answer your question, it has been brought up on this board just recently. Not that I'm going to run out and buy one, but I'd sure like to get the opinion of someone who has tried one out to get ideas on things like how comfortable/easy to use is the key positioning. Anyone know the price, suggest retail and actual?

Also, look at and listen to the Soparilla "piccolo" Bb soprannino sax on the same site.

The thing's demo MP3s don't sound very attractive --compared, say, to the sweet tone of Frank Weir's soprano sax.
