SAX SOLSTICE- CANCELLED!!
As the weather forecast is very bleak and there is once again a severe weather advisory, we cannot take the risk and put anyone’s safety in jeopardy and therefore will have to cancel this year’s Sax Solstice. Anyone who has pre-registered will receive a refund within 30 days.
I thank all of you for wanting to participate in what we know would have been a very cool event but we are already have plans to hold it next year on Sunday December 20th, so save the date.
Sax Solstice sponsored by Sonaré Winds, will offer a unique opportunity for every level of saxophonist (professional, amateur and student) to get together to celebrate the joys of the holiday season.
Modeled after “A TUBA CHRISTMAS," we will extend an open invitation to any person who owns a saxophone and a music stand to take part in a day long saxophone event. The day will begin with a 2 hour rehearsal and will culminate with a performance of standard holiday music with Keilwerth Saxophone artists, Ron Blake and Dan Moretti. The mass choir, conducted by Jeffrey Leonard (Music Director, Lexington High School), will consist of every type of saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass) those participants own.

The newest 700 series flutes from Sonaré Winds have the elegant sparkle of 14k rose gold. These flutes also have the famous Powell Sound which originates with Verne Q. Powell Flutes, the parent company of Sonaré Winds.
Each Sonaré flute has a body made with the Modern Powell Scale at the Boston area workshop using Powell's patented Zinki technology. The flute body, in combination with the hand cut Powell headjoint, produce an instrument that retains much of the projection, colors, and intonation for which Powell is known.
One of the first to see the new models was Fred Schiff, owner of All County Music in Tamarac, Florida and a long time Sonaré dealer. Schiff had encouraged Sonaré to develop these models. When they were shown at All County's private sale last week, first impressions were extremely positive.
Attendees at this past weekend's NYSSMA conference got a sneak peek and the SF-708 model was the star of the show!
The rose gold plated flutes come in three basic configurations:
SF-707: Our popular 705 model that features a sterling silver body and Powel Signature headjoint, dressed up with a 14k rose gold plated lip plate and crown.
SF-708: The same model as our SF-707 but the entire body and headjoint are 14k rose gold plated, and the keys are silver plated. This two-tone instrument is attractive and the unique color combination makes the flute stand out in a crowd.
SF-709: The same model as our SF-707 but the entire flute is 14k rose gold plated which increases the depth of sound, as well as provides a visually stunning instrument.
Sonaré Winds is very enthusiastic about these new models. Flutists of all ages demand a professional sounding flute that also offers a professional look at a modest price. The additional benefits of tarnish resistance and hypoallergenic nature of gold compared to silver made these flutes a natural addition to the Sonaré family.
The new gold flutes will make their official debut at NAMM in January 2009, if you are in the area please stop by our booth to give them a try!
These flutes are priced from $2,200USD (USA MAP). Prices may vary by country, please contact you local dealer for more information.
