Hello - I know this is an old thread but I wanted to add in a bit more info, as I got one of these last fall.
In reality The saxonette is a C soprano clarinet, Albert system, with a curved barrel and bell. It's shaped a whole lot like a tiny alto clarinet.
You can see pictures of my horn (both before and after I cleaned it up and repadded it) at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlf/sets/1055018/ .
I can't say it is the most beautiful sounding clarinet and the intonation is all over the place if you're not careful, but it's fun to play and can sound nice enough in the proper settings. (I've mainly used it while just playing and improvizing with friends, where having a C instrument means I don't have to worry about on the fly transposing.)
