You can set the fingering of the Yamaha WX5 MIDI
Wind Controller to match a number of wind instruments and it features a
16-key layout similar to a standard sax. Includes built-in MIDI output
connector, dedicated connector and cable for direct connection to
WX-Series tone generators, high-resolution wind sensor for smooth
volume control, thumb-controlled pitch bend wheel, and more.
The
Yamaha WX5 Wind Controller takes wind MIDI control to new levels of
performance and playability. With precise, responsive wind and lip

range of fingering modes, the WX5 makes expressive wind control more
accessible than ever before. The WX5 gives experienced wind players a
new medium and vastly expanded sonic possibilities in a familiar
format, playable enough for beginners.
