B & S SAXOPHONE

TRADITION & INNOVATION
Unlike any other area, the saxon region of Vogtland looks back on over a 100 years of tradition in the development and manufacturing of wind instruments. The first german saxophone was built in 1901 in Markneukirchen , and by the 1920`s, Hüller saxophones were being sold all over the world. During the times of the old east Germany (GDR), the majority of the vogtl. Saxophone manufactures were brought together to form the VEB Blechblas- und Signal-Instrumenten-Fabrik. Today, this tradition lies in the hands of Vogtländische Musikinstrumentenfabrik GmbH , who as well as continuing the handcraft traditions, also works towards
