Check out the description lower onthe page. Here's a snippet ....
"General problems of most sax manufacturers and improvements by SST thumb hook
SST thumb hooks improve the sound and speech from soprano to baritone saxophone, regardless of which make (only saxophones with detachable thumb hook), significantly. By and large the response is greatly improved. The sound gets a center without the sound of a "sound" can not really be defined as a tone, but more than noise. Each musician playing music, whether guitar, piano, saxophone, etc. However, does "sound" to even be able to.
The sound of the center itself provides the actual sound basis on which the saxophonist puts only his sound. This sound is based inter alia on the older MVI Selmer saxophones from Selmer very well developed (not for nothing that they enjoy a certain popularity). For many others, especially those newer brands of saxophone is hardly to be non-existent. The consequences are rather flat "sounding" Saxophones without heat, without depth or capacity and the necessary momentum, which is an essential part of music, regardless of genre. Dynamics played without sound more machine cycles, expression is scarce.
Another plus is the SST thumb hook, that they are ergonomically designed much better than conventional thumb hook. The saxophone playing, especially in view of the right thumb is so much more easily possible."
Allegedly Tim Price has one and says it opens up the sound. Must be magic!
