Bill - for FWIW, I wouldn't say it sounds like a kazoo, but it is definitely tinny. I had a sax man who had a soprano sax he could never get comfortable with and this sounds like the same sax - lol. Also, unless this was for demo purposes, I would suggest a different horn, as this sounds very oboe-like and I feel the solo deserves a little more body. I know nothing about style and have no critique regarding the playing- it was OK for me.
