They are made for people so flamboyant that regular gold and silver-colored
instruments are not good enough. The companies, notably L. A. Sax, simply
use colored, instead of clear, lacquer. You ought to see their "swirl"
finish multi-colored instruments! While these horns would look GREAT in a
show band, most school band directors would have a conniption if one of
their kids showed up with one. Which, of course, only proves that they are
prejudiced, judging on appearance alone without bothering to investigate
any other qualities.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
