Saxophone Engraving - Houston Engravers

Every now and then I receive an engraving request that piques my interest because it is either unusual or a first. This one was a first. I have never been asked to engrave a musical instrument. Once I got over the “cool factor”, I had the opportunity to meet with the owner and see what we were working with. This was once a saxophone that I assume was used in marching bands as there were quite a few scratches from performances amidst dance moves etc. With that said, it was brass. As I have worked with brass quite a bit, I know how to finesse it during engraving so I thought let’s do it. Some metals are easier than others and brass just requires that you take your time with a lighter hand. No problem.

I love combining 2 loves of mine…music and calligraphy.
