Renowned for aesthetic beauty and technical precision, P. Mauriat, owned by Albest Musical Instruments Co. Ltd., set out to build the best saxophones in the world at the turn of the millennium. They are now distributed all over the world and have carved out an enviable reputation within the sax market. Their instruments are endorsed by some of today’s leading players such as James Carter, Marcus Strickland, Tony Lakatos, and Greg Osby, among others.

P. Mauriat’s success relies on incredibly versatile instruments that are suitable for both Jazz and Classical music due to outstanding intonation, resonance, and rich tone color. The line consists of over 40 models from Soprano to Baritone and are available in a variety of finishes and price points.

Albest Musical Instruments CEO, Alex Hsieh explains, “We are so excited to form this partnership with St. Louis Music. They really understand the U.S. market very well and have the ability to stock large levels of inventory, and offer P. Mauriat dealers long term financing. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Mark and his team.”

All instruments will be thoroughly inspected, properly regulated, and adjusted in St. Louis before shipping out to U.S. Dealers. In addition to the saxophone line, SLM will also be distributing P. Mauriat’s professional trumpet series.
