Infinitone Microtonal Saxophone

Interesting, see also the glissotar (https://glissonic.com/) for a purely analog variation. That one is more analogous to a fretless guitar (if the linked sax is more analogous to a guitar with adjustable frets).

Wild that they may have come to basically the same design as the Moe[0].

It seems they reached out to Bart Hopkin when they were trying to patent it[1].

I was running to the comments to post this too. The Ininitone is an impressive mechanical achievement, but I think the glissotar has much more potential to catch on.
