Does your yard need some saxing<\/em> up? Are you looking for some yard art that’s not the same old, same old? If you answered “yes” to the previous two questions, then I might have the perfect solution to your decorating dilemma: a saxophone fountain.<\/p>\n

This double sax fountain is the work of James and Sandi Harris, who own Wyld at Heart Customs, in Bakersfield , CA. Their website<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

We are a young company that has progressed into making custom wine barrel furniture and fountains…<\/p>\n

Our custom fountains vary between the one of a kind artistic instrument fountains and pottery fountains to wine barrel fountains and pitcher pump fountains….<\/p>\n

We have something for everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just focusing on the instrument fountains, they have something for nearly every music lover\u2014brass and woodwind players are both very well represented. However, since I’m a sax player, my natural leanings are towards their saxophone fountains.<\/p>\n

James and Sandi Harris certainly don’t disappoint: there are quite a few different saxophone fountains that they illustrate on their website.<\/p>\n

Besides the Conn\/Yamaha conjoined twin alto shown above\u2014at least the key guards suggest a MexiConn and a perhaps YAS 23\u2014the couple also have just a regular, run-of-the-mill alto saxophone fountain. This particular one appears to have been made with a vintage sax.<\/p>\n

Being a baritone player, naturally the double-belled, silver baritone saxophone fountain caught my eye. It is really quite striking, and it too was made with a vintage saxophone. However, this one is so vintage, it doesn’t even have pearls, and was likely originally only keyed to low B.<\/p>\n

The saxophone fountain that is however perhaps the most unusual, is one that the artists call the Saxahorn Fountain<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This strange melded horn is obviously a combo of some brass wind bells, a large brass wind mouthpiece, and an alto saxophone body tube. The neck? I don’t know what brass wind it came from. I’m guessing maybe a baritone horn. All in all, this is one very interesting piece.<\/p>\n

This is only a sample of the work that James and Sandi Harris have done in the past. Since they do custom work, you can contact them through their website on Custom Made<\/a>, (not the most user-friendly contact page around), and order something that is just as interesting, and will be unique to your garden.<\/p>\n
