When I was at World Wide Sax the other day, Sarge was kind enough to allow me to play-test his personal\u00a0Sax Gourmet\u00a0Model tenor saxophone. It really\u00a0is an amazing instrument.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure exactly when or where I first heard about Steve Goodson’s variety of horns he designed for Orpheus, but I know I first saw this copper coloured beauty\u00a0in Sarge’s shop in late August when I dropped my 10M off with him. With\u00a0its colour,\u00a0the Sax Gourmet model\u00a0is very hard to\u00a0miss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve released a series of YouTube videos about the different horns he designed for Orpheus. Here is the one for the Sax Gourmet Model tenor.<\/a>\u00a0It, like the other videos in the series, features Derek Nash from England, providing you with a sound sample of sax.<\/p>\n

When I played the sax, I was astounded at the richness in tone, the volume of the horn, and the lushness of the subtones. In short, I really did hear things in it, that I haven’t heard in other tenor saxophones. This wasn’t just advertising hype that Steve provided.<\/em><\/p>\n

A well-known SOTW member, Randall, bought one of these horns, and started a thread about it, as a type of review<\/a>. The reviews are very favourable.<\/p>\n

But you know what they say… All good things…<\/p>\n

Apparently the Sax Gourmet Model tenor sax has sold out, and is no longer in production. It will be replaced with a new model. To date, this new model is not yet available, so no review on it yet. Time will tell whether it will be as good as its predecessor.<\/p>\n
