New Developments in Saxophones for Disabled PersonsAlthough the most widely recognized one-handed saxophone mechanism is the Conn from shortly after WWI, the past ten years has seen a flurry of innovative developments in addressing this challenging problem of musical/engineering innovation. A number of individuals are currently working to enable permanently disabled musicians to play the saxophone, including Martin Foag (Germany), Marten Visser (Holland), Jeff Stelling (USA) and Brian Russell (USA). |
