C# - Bb Connected Table Key

Most ‘student’ saxophones omit this most important mechanism. One can only wonder why this articulation key is not included.

This key allows the player to fluently slide the little finger of the left hand from the Bb to the C# and return without lifting the finger. This motion allows the player to avoid in-between notes popping out spoiling the musical rendition with the additional unwanted grace note.

If you are in any doubt about the worth of the Yanagisawa C# - Bb Connected Table Key mechanism, try moving between these two notes on an instrument not having this facility, and you will immediately move to the Yanagisawa instrument as your preference.
