I just bought a CASIO electronic SAX from my local BIG Lots store for
$33.00.  It beats hell out of building one yourself.  I don't have much
experience playing a SAX, but for the money, it's pretty good.  It also
has a MIDI interface.  

Anyone interested should look in their local remarketers.  I'm sure there
are equivelent stores all over this country.  I will not start a drop/
ship on these with-out significent profit.  All my cash is tied up in
christmas gifts!




Good Luck!
