Hey Bootman! John Lehner Saxophones?

[Dr G]

Anyone know anything of this http://johnlehnersaxophones.com/ ?

Given John's history in innovative (and GOOD) flute work, this could be interesting.

The build quality looks outstanding. First new horn I've seen that didn't look mass produced. If they have an equally good tone, I'd say I've got serious GAS (er, uh, G.A.S.)!

I'm still trying to understand this - "All instruments pre-checked and finished personally by John Lehner." Forgive the distrust that's grown out of seeing all the U.S. brands of Taiwan-made horns, but are John's horns actually built by John or are they "Designed in Australia, crafted Somewhere Else"?

It all seems to good to be true. Is it? :?

Hey, Bootman! Could you please do us the honor of posting your reviews in "Misc. Modern Horns"? I've a feeling that thread could have some staying power.

Cheers,

George
