As many of you know, the 1800 sq. ft. building we use for our warehouse and shop was devastated during Hurricane Katrina. It floated completely off its foundation, and all the contents were lost. At long last, after a considerable cash infusion, we’re almost done.
This building is where we will develop and build our new saxophones, mouthpieces, necks, and other products.
We had to rebuild in the original dimensions to comply with zoning regulations (we were “grandfathered in”), and we have completely rebuilt, re-plumbed, re-wired etc. etc. etc. Of course, while we were at it, we added an all new chemical room, greatly increased security, and since we were having to put a new front on the building, put in some stained glass windows and many other decorative touches. We've got a bit more fru fru to add, and hope to have this finished next week.
Permanent work benches have been installed, new shelving, and much improved lighting. You’ll notice from the picture that more of the sun decorations have been installed in keeping with our overall “maison du soleil montant” format for the rest of the property.
You’ll see in one of the pictures our contractor, Victor Gonzales, installing Tibetan prayer flags to guarantee good fortune for this venture. You'll also note that an alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone sax are used to add a decorative touch to the main building.
