I spotted these instruments -

Plastic recorder like things that take a reed, and sound like a sx/clarinet. Plenty of youtube clips showing a sort of nice sound, and comments on how easy to play they are.

I have 3 saxophones, and aren't too shabby on them, but I can't get any sensible sounds out of this thing. The reed supplied looked like it had been chewed, and was clearly an alto reed - despite many comments on the net that they use tenor reads - this is definitely an Alto one.

I tried the 2 ½ ones I normally use, and a 2 - but it's very breathy and I can only get a few notes. I'm wondering if I missed something, or maybe mine has some kind of defective moulding somewhere. It just doesn't play.

Anyone else got one?

I know it's not really a recording question, but I'd like to record it .
