L.A. Sax Endorsers
LASaxCo
Hello everyone! Greetings once again from The L.A. Sax Company. We have
received many of your inquiries via our new temporary e-mail address
LASaxCo @aol.com and we hope they keep coming.
Several of you have made inquiries into our dynamic artist program. So we
thought there are a couple of things that everyone needs to learn about
our program.
All L.A. Sax Endorsers play stock instruments from L.A. Sax. We do not
customize the endorsers horns other than custom color finishes or designs
(See Richard Elliot's new CD-CitySpeak for a beautiful falling
checkerboard design- and while you're at it see the horn when you visit
Richard's new website at www.richardelliot.com).

George,
I think that there was a misunderstanding in the translation which
prompted your response. Of course LA Sax offers several lines of horns.
The lowest is a student model horn suitable for the beginner called a
Barrington. It is a plain gold horn which is durable, and designed for
school use. The semi-pro line offers a more advanced design horn with
the advent of custom coloring. Then there is the pro-line horn. Yes, a
bit more expensive, but a noticeable difference in the playing. The
point that was being made is that one may purchase the same pro-line horn
that the endorsers play, and the endorsers play the same pro-line horn
that you may purchase. Please do not mistake the list of endorsers as a
marketing ploy, but rather as a quality markrer for the por-line horn. I
also know that some of the endorsers chose to use a semi-pro horn as
opposed to a pro-line horn for whatever personal reason they have. Thanks
for your input, thanks for your opinion, and keep it coming!
Musically,
Nate Klinger
LA Sax endorser
