Saxophone - Cousenon Saxie

Expert: Eugene Cantera - 9/26/2007

Question
I have an sax-type instrument - well, more of a toy really - the Saxie, which was
manufactured by Cousenon in Paris in 1924. Although a novelty, I've used it in
performance and would like to know more about it if possible.

Answer
The 'keyless' saxie is mentioned briefly in the following article. You may have a little treasure there:

Other than this reference I could find only a few musicians named 'Saxie' and a couple of pictures including this one at google:
