As far as I can tell, the Vibratosax tenor is only available in Signapore. It's a production instrument, at least, and there's an all white one and a clear one. Vibratosax also has a curved soprano prototype (I dunno why they'd do a curved one). Check out their Facebook page! Thanks for sharing, Helen. The Vibratosax is one of the many instruments I look at and say, "Cool. I'd like to try one, someday, but I don't want to buy one."
The Vibratosaxes (Vibrato Saxes?) were supposed to be lower-cost and low-weight instruments. They've definitely succeeded on the "weight" part. The price part? Well, the altos are around to $500. There are a lot of used Yamaha 23s around that price. True, the Yamaha will probably need repair, but the horn will last for years. The Vibratosax? Hope you don't drop it!
All that being said, if it gets you more into music, I'm really kinda OK with that.
