How can my music store become a Saxgourmet Products dealer?
We do not sell our products through a dealer network, ONLY direct off our website. This allows us to hold down costs and pass the savings along to our customers.
How do I become a Saxgourmet Endorsing Artist?
The short answer is: show us how many saxophones you can sell for us per year……we are ONLY interested in artists who help us promote our products……we are only interested in artists who have significant exposure to our target markets……we are not interested in artists with only a local following or who are “on the way upâ€â€¦..we do not pay our artists, and do not generally provide them with instruments at no cost…..results matter to us…..we are not impressed with empty promises and predictions……we have heard them all before
Will you consider my current horn as a trade in on a Saxgourmet saxophone?
Unfortunately, no……we are not in the used instrument business, and would have no use for your horn
Can I order a custom tip opening on my Saxgourmet mouthpiece?
Yes…..we are happy to make up any tip opening you want (subject to the capabilities of the blank to accept the tip you want) for an additional charge of $100/hour for the amount of time it actually takes to alter the tip. This is generally a 2 to 3 hour process from start to finish.
Are other finishes available on Saxgourmet saxophones beside copper?
