LA Sax • Hoxon Gakki Corp., Taiwan • no. 18126 • 2000
It appears that LA Sax did not make any trumpets, but rather “private labeled” instruments made elsewhere. In this case the source is Taiwan. It is clear to me that this very nice pocket trumpet is identical to the Pocket Max and the Marcato Sophia; all three evidently made at the same factory. This is an extremely playable instrument – in my opinion, it rivals the L.A. Benge (although the Benge valves are better). In fact, I use my LA Sax pocket as my primary backup horn for gigs. While LA Sax no longer offers pocket trumpets, the other two models mentioned are still available. I play this using my usual Yamaha 7D4d cornet mouthpiece with a cornet-to-trumpet adapter.
