Odisei Music Travel Sax 2 Wind Synth/Controller - Black

Sells separately for $789.00

The Odisei Music Travel Sax 2 takes the concept of the travel saxophone to the next level. It comes with a real alto sax mouthpiece and adapters for your own soprano, tenor, or baritone mouthpiece. It has a speaker and a headphone jack, in addition to internal synth sounds for instant go-anywhere practice. There’s also a companion app that gives you access to additional features, such as breath sensor MIDI channel assignment. But its main calling card is its authentic saxophone key layout and stainless steel spring action, which gives you the feel of the real thing. Factor in its exceedingly small size and light weight (under a pound), and the Travel Sax 2 checks all the boxes for a practice instrument you can play anywhere without disturbing others.

I have been following and waited a few years of its development to finally get the Travel Sax 2 and it definitely was worth the wait! I've had it for more than a month now and find it worth purchasing, given the somewhat (but still reasonable) steep price. I own and play several soprano, alto, C melody, and tenor saxophones and a couple of flutes and for me, the main limitations of these acoustic instruments are portability when traveling, and the limited ability to practice everywhere because of they are inherently loud.
The Travel Sax 2 addresses both limitations ( very portable and ability to play silently using earbuds or headphones) plus the added advantage of using it as a midi controller or connecting the headphone output to a wired or wireless ( guitar wireless system) speaker.

The instrument is very light and deceptively looks flimsy but it definitely is not- it is surprisingly well built and engineered. The included adapters and optional accessories make it very ergonomic and easily to play, mimicking the real instruments. A dummy alto mouthpiece with ligature and reed is even included. Although not ideal in maintaining one's embouchure it still allows one to play as close to the actual acoustic saxophone set up as there is some semblance of breath control and tonguing. It works best with a synthetic 3.5 reed and a Rovner ligature for me. The built in saxophone sounds are good enough for practicing but I am considering purchasing the SWAM sax bundle which could potentially allow me to actually use the TS2 for performance.
I constructed a cradle to hold and secure the TS2 from a cardboard shoe mold, duct tape and soft cloth material mounted on a portable camera tripod which works perfectly! Now it sits next to me to grab and play anytime to nail those difficult musical passages and practice scales.

Easy to pick up and play with a decent battery life, so it's ideal for practice in places where you might have difficulty with transport/volume. I wouldn't buy it with the intention of performing; the included sounds are limited and artificial-sounding.
If you're like me and your primary concerns are
1. something that you could practice with on-the-go or without disturbing neighbors
2. At a low price-point
I would absolutely recommend this piece.

I rarely leave negative reviews but this purchase has been frustrating. It's a travel instrument, so I wasn't expecting the world but I've had a bunch of issues in only 6 months of owning the Travel Sax. I've had two keys pop off with broken springs. One of those keys controls the bluetooth so I wasn't able to connect to my phone. Now the sound doesn't work so it's just a hunk of plastic. Before the whole thing broke, it would sometimes take 30 seconds of blowing to produce any sound.

I reached out to Odisei and it looks like the customer service rep is AI? Apparently there is a way to purchase just the keys and springs but that's not available on their Website (nor is it available on Sweetwater).

Sweetwater supposedly has a 2 year warranty but now I have to mail in it to see if this would be covered, and they seem to be relying on Odisei to fix this issue (which would cost me money).

Regretting not just going with the Yamaha YDS-120
