I was under the impression that they used the multi-contact key switch
mechanism but that the tone generator was digital.  Probably the AO-28
is solid state as well, Trek style.

If it were to be made today it probably would have a Made in China
sticker on it.  That would cut the cost considerably.  Some of the
Chinese saxophones are comparing very favorably to the best horns from
Taiwan.  The Taiwanese horns are half to a third the cost of a Selmer,
Yamaha, Yanigisaw, Keilwerth.  The Chinese horns cost half of that.
