I was contacted over the weekend by a very good friend and long time business associate who happens to own a large saxophone company. The P. Mauriat saxophone company, to be specific. He had been contacted by his USA distributor concerning allegations that our Saxgourmet series saxophones are the same as a certain model of the P. Mauriat saxophone. This is not true. Our horns are totally and radically different, and are not the same in any way as any other saxophone on the market anywhere in the world.
I was hired by Orpheus Music a couple of years ago to be a saxophone DESIGNER, not a saxophone copier. All (100%) of our horns are my unique designs. We buy absolutely nothing off the shelf.
This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. That well known saxophone "expert", Pete Hales, who posts under the name of "saxprick" or something like that on SOTW, stated that our Steve Goodson Model horns were the same as the current models offered by Buffet. Several people stepped up and pointed out the many, substantial differences, yet this "expert" never corrected himself. You can read all about this sordid incident here:

You gotta wonder what the agenda of those who attack our products is. Particularly those who attack us without so much as even playing our product.
