Jim, all input is welcome. I sm very grateful for your remarks. I think I've found my hot buttons.

The deal with my wife is problematic. She gave away her instrument many years ago and replacing it is out of the question. As my wedding present to her, I got a Yamaha WX-5 electronic wind controller along with a Yamaha synth module which was not only made for the purpose, but has a custom chip for added expression and realism.

Alas, the two years of our marriage have been eventful. In that time she has had carpal tunnel surgery on both sides as well as breaking her right wrist after that. Her job is very demanding and she often has to work six days a week. On top of all that, the Yamaha doesn't use sax fingering; it is its own thing entirely. I mean to set her up with a copy of BIAB on her PC so she can work at her convenience, but she needs R&R first and foremost. I am semi-retired, but she has a while yet. I hope something works out before then.
