Anybody heard of Oleg? He started making saxes now! I have neve played anything so amazing. He usually makes ligatures (really good for jazz, pop, bebop, fusion, etc) and necks (used by Michael Brecker, Eric Marienthal, Steve Wilkerson, and so on), and I mean, the man in a genius.
===================================

(for those of you who don`t know him, he made his first sax at 14 years old! He, until a little while ago, was only making necks, ligatures, mouthpieces, neck straps, sax stands, you know. Accessories for the sax. HE also, if he liked you, would repair your sax, or modify it. He could also "trick out" your neck, as in putting scratches into the inside of the neck, and modified the sound and intonation. I love his sax. It is gold plated and plays soooo well. Any body heard of him?

Look up oleg necks or oleg ligatures (it`s called an olegiture) and you should find some info. Usually good comments. Oh yeah, the saxes are kind of hush hush, so you shouldn`t find anything.

if you want a reference to a pro who plays oleg, type 2AZZ1 Oleg into your search engine.
