Excellent practice tool and more
I have used it profusely for several months now, the perfect option to silently practice scales, fingerings and arrangements. I use it also to register inspiration when happens, try new things and compositions. On top of it, its preset sounds are helping me in my performances, adding a catalog of possibilities when for instance I want to add an harmonica or sound effect part to my performances. Very useful tool, durable and reliable.
On the negative side, you can control some volume blowing harder or softer, but thats it, no mouth, embochure or expression training at all. Also, the lack of visual lights when charging if the sax is turned off has caused some confusion to me about charging times or just forgetting if I charged it or not.
To sum up, excellent tool overall.

Great practice tool
I bought this as I have been diagnosed with a perforated ear drum and can't practice with my normal saxophone for a few weeks and it has been fantastic. Not only can I still practice as if though I am playing my usual sax (except for the embouchre) but I am annoying my neighbours less!
I will definitely be using it even after I have healed to just practice the repetitive things (scales, arpeggios etc) to minimise annoying my neighbours!
The keys feel exactly like a saxophone (maybe a tad stiffer than you might expect, but that can be adjusted supposedly).
The service by thomann was great and the item arrived in the UK really quickly too.

IMPORTANT: Check playing each note before thinking its faulty!
Not being experienced I thought the unit was faulty, it was simply that I was not pressing the keys in combination with the correct fingering.
I spent hours investigating, some of the keys appeared not to work until I checked using a chart to find it was OK.
It will be used for quiet practice to speed up learning and some midi, and for that it will be OK.
I hope this info helps others.

more noice than musical sound
I didn't expect a great sound, but not as bad as it turned out. I hear a lot of noice which is louder than the tones that are played. It is too annoying.
