Steve Goodson Saxgourmet Saxophones
What if cost were no object and innovation the only goal? What would change? The answer is everything. [caption id="attachment_233" align="alignleft" width="353" caption="Saxgourmet for the ultimate performance"][/caption] The old-line manufacturers are no longer the sources of innovation they once were.
