LA Sax � Hoxon Gakki Corp., Taiwan � no. 18126 � 2000
LA Sax did not make any trumpets, but rather �private labeled� instruments made elsewhere. In this case the source is Taiwan. This very nice pocket trumpet is identical to the Pocket Max, Fasch, and Marcato Sophia; all made at the same factory, Hoxon Gakki (now makers of Carol Trumpets). This is an extremely playable instrument � in my opinion, it rivals the L.A. Benge, long the �gold standard� for professoinal pocket trumpets. In fact, I use my LA Sax pocket as my primary backup horn for gigs. While LA Sax no longer offers pocket trumpets, the other models mentioned are still available. I play this using my usual Yamaha 7D4d cornet mouthpiece with a cornet-to-trumpet adapter.
