Pete doesn't know it, but I'm actually a fan of his internet postings.
I make most of my living designing saxophones, some of it repairing and modifying saxophones, some of it teaching saxophone, and some of it selling saxophones.
I own a few companies (some with partners, most without partners) that make saxophones, import and distribute saxophones and oher instruments, make reeds, make pads, make mouthpieces, and make other saxophone accessories.
I had to retire from professional playing a few years ago after suffering a second stroke. Prior to my retirement, I generally played professionally six days a week. I've toured with many major acts, and have played on every continent except Antartica.
I'm very interested in saxophone acoustics and design. I have a personal collection of over 100 horns, with emphasis on the unusal designs of the past.
I'm 56 years old, and started playing professionally when I was 14. I'm currently busy restoring my property which was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina last year. We had eight feet of water in our business, our warehouse was totally destroyed, and my home suffered over $400,000US damage.
I maintain an office (but no longer a retail business) in New Orleans, as well as an office in San Antonio, Texas. I travel to music trade shows worldwide.
I do have a retail business on the internet, as well as various discussion forums and groups related to saxophones. I look forward to participating here.
