Well, there early stuff is jazz, but not the later things... But you're

midi based wind instrument

Well, the original lyricon is not midi, but that doesn't matter...

working in a music shop in the drum dept that had a sdsv on the cover and
the landscape kit on the back along with info to the effect that any shape
any size only your imagination

Cool! :)
