Gonzo Don't know about C.M. Gonzo but you can check out the website of the guy in Chiang Rai. It shows pictures of the manufacturing process...very high quality. I was impressed with what I saw and heard. I'm sure he would post one to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOxon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi anyone know where I can locate one in Ching Mai since the guy has relocated to Chiang Rai. I have a friend who's here for just one day that's interested.... David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoBoy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Chiang rai is a Wooden not Bamboo Saxaphone. Prices are from about 12,000 baht. Nice, but remember they are wood and do not have a heavy brass sound, but still a sax sound, but subdued. He is still active in Chiang Rai. Saw him a few months ago. http://www.woodensax.com/2010/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original "Bamboo Sax" man of Chiang Mai was (is?) a very pleasant German man named Eric Clermont who lived in a teak house in the Mae Sa Valley and for a while had a shop next door to Darets at Thapae Gate. At that time he had a feature in the old monthly magazine 'Good Morning" which clearly showed he was the originator. His instruments were beautifully made and had a very mellow sound. The long haired younger guy from Austria worked with him for a while, just long enough to learn a little, then "branched out on his own". (The words "in quotes" are to avoid legal repercussions, kow jy?). I wish Eric well and would love to hear and see his wonderful products again.
