The Roland AE-10 is a wind synthesizer with keys/finger layout that exactly mirrors a saxophone. It’s the entry-level wind synth in the AE range but still not insignificant cost at £620.

I carefully reviewed a few options and decided to buy the AE-10 after watching the review from bettersax and the sax.co.uk windsynth rundown. I was tempted to go for the AE-30 but decided that I couldn’t justify the extra £500 at this stage. Maybe next time.
