    PETE LAPLACA Tim Price, prominent American saxophone artist & educator, has been appointed to the position of Dakota Saxophone performing "spokesperson" for Straight Altos and Tenors Saxophones. Tim and Dakota President, Peter LaPlaca, recently reached an agreement which positions Tim Price as an ongoing artist/clinician focusing on Dakota’s emerging Jazz Saxophone image in the marketplace with their outstanding/unique pair of Straight Alto and Tenor Saxophone models.
     
    Tim brings a broader dimension to these two special instruments as a credible Saxophone Artist, Critic, Writer, Author, Teacher and Speaker, who, we are confident will elevate both saxophone   models into the mainstream use by professional and semi professional Saxophone performers

With barely any experience working with their system I was able to quickly sync the receiver and transmitter. The sound was incredible! Connecting everything and finishing the sound check took like 5 minutes. It was that easy. The sound crew was not familiar with the brand but everyone loved it. Best saxophone wireless mic in my opinion!
