This book presents a novel method of grafting musical wind
instruments by exchanging an instrument's standard mouthpiece with
different tone generators. Using the concrete example of the
soprano saxophone, it describes how, with six other tone
generators, including brass, double reed, and free reed mechanisms,
the saxophone can be extended to nearly every wind instrument
category in the von Hornbostel and Sachs classification system. The
book demonstrates how it is possible to play these instrument
variations with high proficiency, and describes the method of
hyper-specialization, including acoustical insights, conservatory
training methods and the underlying philosophy. The latter is based
on the cultural traditions of the different wind instrument
prototypes and the Deep Listening philosophy of cultivating
internal diversity, and approach that leads to a new level of wind
instrument virtuosity that offers great timbral variety combined
with the flexibility of a regular acoustic wind instrument.
