• [Media Coverage] Playtech by VICTORY, Sanborn Reed, and others featured in Sax World Vol. 42!

  

  2026/09/19

  The September 14 issue of "Sax World Vol. 42" features products carried by Sound House, including the Playtech by VICTORY tenor saxophone and the Sanborn Signature Reeds.
  
  In the CD-linked feature “PRODUCTS CLOSE UP,” we introduce the “Playtech by VICTORY PTS-50V” tenor saxophone—part of Sound House’s original “PLAYTECH” brand and developed under the supervision of the American saxophone manufacturer “VICTORY.” Saxophonist Naomu Soeda tried out the instrument to evaluate its tone, playing feel, and playability. The accompanying CD includes audio recordings of the test performance, allowing you to enjoy the sound of the PTS-50V alongside the print review.
  
  The issue also features a special section on ReedGeek’s “Sanborn Signature Reeds.” Mauro Di Gioia, the company’s founder, discusses the development background of the reeds that have supported David Sanborn’s sound, and the issue includes a trial report by saxophonist Masato Honma, a great admirer of Sanborn. He explores the appeal of these reeds from a player’s perspective, covering aspects such as tone, response, and ease of control.
  
  Furthermore, in a special feature on high-baffle mouthpieces for alto saxophone, saxophonist Fumiya Morishita compares and tests a total of 20 rubber and resin models, including the “D’Addario Woodwinds / Rico Graftonite” and “Bari Woodwinds / Infinity.” In addition to the tone and playing feel of each model, the article also covers playing techniques and tips for choosing reeds, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to find the right mouthpiece.
  
  The issue is also packed with other compelling features, including an opening feature with Dave Koz and Leo P, as well as a beginner’s guide to jam sessions. Be sure to check out the magazine and the accompanying CD.
