Advantages: Great sounding instrument at a real bargain price Disadvantages: only comes with one reed and the sling supplied is a bit thin.
'hardness' 1 being the softest and easiest to blow and 5 being the hardest and loudest. Believe me, it is loud enough with a 2.5. I bought three 1.5 reeds, which for a beginner are easier to control.
To play the sax you need to support it on a sling, you don't want to be supporting it with your hands and trying to play at the same time. The sling supplied with the sax is basic and can be a bit uncomfortable, after a few days I treated myself to a padded sling which means that I can play comfortably in the nude. Now there's a picture for you.
Enough of the descriptive stuff, what's it like?
Well, the finish is to a high standard, after a thorough search I could find no blemishes, scratches or finishing faults. There is a floral motif punched into the bell and all the home finger position keys are marked with a pearloid disk. The top ...
Advantages: Funny, realistic. Good special features Disadvantages: Not for the politically correct
minute episodes there are a number of special features in the set which are actually entertaining to watch and add to the boxset rather than just being filler. The four audio commentaries are as entertaining as the episodes, full of banter with insight into the thinking behind Ideal. The blooper reel is genuinely funny and made me wonder how they ever managed to complete a single episode, but my favourite was the ?Ideal interview?, where writer Graham Duff introduces the main characters while in the guise of Brian. The ?making of? is also above average, showing the development of the programme and the great rapport between the actors and production team. According to the case there are also deleted scenes, but as yet I?ve been unable to find them.

Advantages: All-in-one keyboard, USB hub and laptop stand Disadvantages: Heavy, and my example drew too much power from the USB port
My first attempt to use this keyboard caused a high power demand error on the USB port of a Toshiba laptop. The Tosh isolated the port until I could fix the problem. The only way I could use Alto was to connect it to my laptop via a powered hub. Maybe this is just a faulty unit, but Logitech weren't much help - merely suggesting the corrective measures I'd already tried and then offered to sell me one of their power supplies for it. Moderately useful product IF you do a lot of serious typing on your laptop and want to use it desk-mounted. I'm not confident that it will see much use long-term. I've since returned Alto to the supplier and bought a simple keyboard and laptop stand. ...
