In a dark, cold and rainy evening, just as I was about to enter my flat, I noticed a dirty and deflated rubber saxophone laying on the cement just at the door. As someone who is very intrigued by anything that produces sound and enjoys music-related memes, I realized that this was a sign for me to take it.
After washing it in warm water I thought of what should I do with the poor thing. I realized what I would do: I would use my newly-acquired knowledge in prototyping to give it back its beautiful song.
7 buttons of the sax have a conductive tape on top, which are connected to a Playtronica controller, with each button triggering a note from a scale. The mouthpiece also is conductive so the player's lips have to be touching it for it to sound. The data is sent to a DAW where it produces the sax tone.
