I just wanted to pass an observation. I recently played a saxophone known as a Palm Winds. The keywork, the antique finish, construction, weight, and sound are absolutely identical to the Mauriat. My thought; they are the same horn. I wonder if it is just another case of buying a Taiwan made saxophone and slapping your own name on it. Oh and by the way. The Palm Wind horn sells for only 900.00 V/S 2000.00 plus.
