"This rare wind controller looks like a soprano saxophone, but actually uses a modified tenor saxophone mouthpiece(Brilhart 9). The Lyricon II uses the Modeified Boehm System fingerings(fingering chart included in owner's manual)."
Update: video added at the end of this post.
Update2: The pics appear to be of a Lyricon I. The manual is for the Lyrican II. You can see a Lyricon II pictured here. Thanks goes to Ricko in the comments below for catching this.
