I play the sax and would love to have a mic with a boost switch that I
can press when I take a solo. This could simply be a 10 db pad in the
normal case which is removed when the switch is pressed. Just a few
resistors and a switch. Does anyone make such a device? It could even
be built into an xlr shell.

Peter does have a point, I think, although he obviously could
have stated it in more friendly terms.

Is this a mike on a boom stand? Why not use your position (get closer)
and dynamics to bring it up for a solo?
