It's a beautiful horn, it's nice to have something named after you. However, I think I would have went for a couple of Sophisticats engraved on the bell. Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Hi Bob, That's a sweet looking horn!! I may look into a nickel plated alto for my next Synthophone.
I had my Selmer MarkVII completely overhauled, buffed, & relaquered by Larry Mizell, in Hagerstown, MD. Selmer used to do all my work, but they no longer have the craftsmen in Elkhart. Larry's work was equal to the factory.

I think Anderson Plating is the place most of the folks on Sax On The Web recommend.

I was told, that the nickel should last longer than me, and at worst it may eventually dull a little like the US nickel coin.
If I ever get a synthophone (and I do have GAS for one) I'd nickel plate an old alto and then have Martin put the guts in that.
I have a 1925 silver plated King alto, and it held up fairly well, but it has the voice of an angel, so I'm going to leave it just as it is.
And Gary, you are right. The Sophisticats logo would like nice engraved on the bell.
I did have the Sophisticats logo put on my modded LTD guitar

That's nice, Bob!
I hope that you really enjoy this sax, and that in fact, it does last longer than you do, so you'll have as much enjoyment out of it for as long as possible.

Notes, you have contributed so much to the world of BIAB and to the various forums where its enthusiasts congregate that I am happy to see you so pleased with your new toy. I've learned a lot from the things you've written through the years... And I find myself agreeing with much of your philosophy, when you see fit to state it.
Thanks for all that you do to add value to the world around you. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new sax, and I further hope that if it outlives you, it ain't by much. (and not because of the sax wearing out too soon)

Notes, With all of the work you've put into your web page lately, I'll bet you haven't got to play this beauty much. Bob

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
