[edit] Company information

The company was started in 1999 by Alex Hsieh, a Taiwanese businessman who owns and operates the company.

Alex is a business man who loves the saxophone as much as any person I know. I didn’t know he owned a saxophone company until he showed me one of his early saxophones. [...] Alex Hsieh not only loves the saxophone; he is crazy about the saxophone. He listens to saxophone all day, and at night after dinner with his family, he goes back to his office to practice every day. - Roger Greenberg, saxophonist, quoted on P.Mauriat web site[2]
