New Products and Projects from Saxgourmet

I've been busy.....here's an update on some new projects:

SUPER 400 BARITONE
Yep, it's happening! This will be a SUPER PREMIUM baritone, with more features than an old Cadillac has fins.......I've been working on this for about two years, and we have started production. There will be NOTHING remotely like this one, and I can hardly wait! We'll have some in a couple of months. The current Saxgourmet baritone will continue, because it's a great horn at a great price. The new model will be (1) expensive and (2) limited production.

SOLID SILVER NECKS
I picked up the pre-production prototypes at the NAMM show, and they play great. We'll have these beauties for you in about month. Start saving now! These are not cheap!

NEW SOLID COPPER TENOR NECK
We'll have the Saxgourmet tenor neck (the one with the nodal weights and built in neck enhancer) available in solid copper next month for Selmer, Yamaha, Yanigasawa, Conn, and Buescher saxophones. We're going to discontinue the current solid copper tenor neck, so watch for special prices on remaining inventory

VOODOO REX TENOR
At long last, we've got our tooling and pre-production problems resolved to everyone's satisfaction, and I should have the final prototype in hand in a couple of weeks. I've signed on the dotted line for a big order, so we should have plenty of horns for everybody who has been waiting before long.

SAXGOURMET CASES
They've been shipped, so I should have them next week. We'll have our new line of contour cases for alto, tenor, baritone, and BASS.

BARITONE NECK ENHANCER
Is right on the horizon.....I now have my doubts that there will ever be a soprano enhancer becuase there is just too much difference in soprano mouthpiece sizes

SAXGOURMET THUMBREST
We'll have a new plastic version of our famous ergonomic thumbrest, since there has been some pissing and moaning about the price of the gold plated metal version. We'll have them next week, at a price everybody can afford.

SUPER DUCK MOUTHPIECE
Shipped yesterday, so I'll have them next week. If you liked the old Brilhart Level-Aire, imagine it on steroids......tenor only

ROTTWEILER MOUTHPIECE
Some of my rock and roll buddies wanted the ultimate loud, nast sounding mouthpiece, and I am happy to provide it......not for the timid....should be in stock in a couple of weeks........tenor only

SAXGOURMET SOPRANINO
I approved the prototype, with a couple of changes, so the factory is building another prototype so we're sure we have it just right for you.....this horn is a killer!

SAXGOURMET BASS
I don't see the numbers working out on this project.....It's a money loser, so we will pass for the time being

We just got a BIG shipment of Voodoo Rex altos....we're now totally sold out of Super 400 altos and tenors......the next load of Super 400 tenos should arrive around March 15.......we do have curved sopranos, saxellos, and baritones in stock, although they're going fast and all in short supply

We've got lots more projects going on, and I'll keep you advised as they develop.
