Newsworthynews @ zagarsax™: (where you tell us . . . coming soon in 2010)
Dear saxophone friends,
Almost 5 (five) years have now passed since the official launch of the zagarsax website. Since its inception in 2005, the NEWS at zagarsax webpages have exclusively aimed at informing, educating and entertaining the broader sax community.
The 'NEWS at zagarsax' mission has been an amazing success story. Through extensive education and technical information provided in this area of our website, we have ultimately ended the 'dreaded mouthpiece search' for almost 4000 players world-wide!
The Zagarsax success story has directly hinged on all players' valued feedback, and has amalgamated two separate important issues, namely, what the player actually feels and hears together with the scientific reasoning behind great playing mouthpieces.
The zagarsax mission is to continually strive for greater acoustical efficiency though better 'Materials Science' and geometric designs, and this tradition is continuing in 2010.
On the rather tenuous subject of Patents: Zagarsax has omitted from partaking in the realm of Patents - for each and every outragous patent claim, there is a cogent counterclaim for 'prior art'. Rather than entering in this 'commercial minefield' of patents Zagarsax has focused on proprietory 'crystal seeding/growing' techniques; these elaborate techniques shall remain a 'trade secret', so to speak.
Our one-piece (monolithic) construction techniques are also 'proprietary by nature'. Monolithic construction assists us to produce an 'acoustically correct' mouthpiece with greater efficiency that translates into highly resonant and brilliant mouthpiece designs. Many of our competition continue to state that 'materials science don't matter', and flagrantly resort to the dreaded 'baffle' and/or 'wedge' in order to create 'artificial' brightness and brilliance and its associated unwanted 'side-effects' (such as poor intonation, stuck notes, thin upper registers, slow transient response etc).
As a further improvement to the NEWS at zagarsax area of our website, we plan to integrate a new area called 'Newsworthynews @ Zagarsax™'.
'Newsworthynews at Zagarsax™ will be an interactive 'BLOG' where you, our valued player, can add your opinions, views and participate in the overall discussion. More details about our 'Newsworthynews @ Zagarsax™ page coming soon . . .
In the meantime enjoy playing the sax, and practice, practice and more practice . . .
Yours Sincerely, Gary Lewin (Overseas Sales Co-ordinator)
