"I’m very excited to be a part of the family of artists for Reunion Blues. I use the RB Continental line of saxophone cases and couldn’t be happier. They look great, the small, compact size and the light-weight design makes them easy to carry and fit in any overhead compartment when I travel and, the best part for me, they REALLY protect my babies – my horns! I’ve searched a long time for cases that can fit my demanding lifestyle and whether I’m in the studio, on the set or on the road, Reunion Blues is simply the best!"
“I use RBX Saxophone stands because they’re the sturdiest I’ve ever used, they look fantastic and have kept my horns protected and steady. The stand design keeps the horns really balanced and grounded plus the provided spaces for my additional horn pegs give them even more value. Whether in a concert hall, on the set of Dancing With The Stars or on a movie sound stage, I know without a doubt that all my horns are standing safe and sound.”
