Heath - I haven't been doing saxes much lately, but I intend to try the 205 on one in the near future. I think in combination with a U87 it would be killer. That's where I'll head next time I'm recording a tenor. For alto, the ribbon alone might be just the ticket. Why not get one and try it yourself. They're pretty reasonable. Cheers,
