Quotes from the saxontheweb discussion forum:

"I got a chance to play a P. Mauriat soprano sax... One word, "WOW!!!" If I have money at the moment, I would take it right away without any hesitates... It's absolutely beautiful: control, response; tone... The action is fast, I mean REALLY FAST. It responds so fast that the moment I finger a note, I immediately feel the response, the vibration and the note just speaks... The tone is what I'm looking for. I always look for a spreading kind of tone, and this is it. It can fill the whole room easily, without the harsh."

I bought a P. Mauriat soprano last summer, and this brand really surprised me, the horn really sings !! I used to be a big fan of those pricey Yanagisawa, until I tried P. Mauriat, very good intonation, and have that "ring" sound in it.......
