BESSON INTERNATIONAL SERIES TRUMPET

The bass saxophone is going on a concert tour with a well known musician. I took these shots to record its departure. It makes me feel good to know that the horn will be making music again. Since I converted it from a wall hanging to a playing saxophone 10 years ago, It hasn't made much music. There was one advantage making a shipping container for a horn this big. Weight is not an issue. With a container this size, UPS charges as if it weighed 121 pounds regardless of the actual weight. I first built a foam box using insullation board and then made a tray box from a refrigerator carton that Lowe's was kind enough to give me. Way back in a past life, I worked in quality control for a manufacturer. Our most effective test of packaging designs was to ship the product UPS Ground from coast-to-coast and back.

That's about it concerning pictures from the 14th World Saxophone Congress. We were way too busy listening to the great concerts and meeting manufacturer's and other artists to think about taking pictures. Sorry... :-)
