The Zonda wind, or viento zonda is a term for a
warm wind particular to the eastern slope of the
Andes mountain range in Argentina. The Zonda
is a dry wind that comes from the cold ocean air,
warmed by descent from the crest of the mountain
range over looking the Mendoza Valley.
This is where the cane is grown for our Zonda
reeds, our name influenced by the regional winds,
which now we proudly use for our instruments.
The philosophy behind Zonda is simply to produce
brass and woodwind instruments and accessories
we are proud of. Products we want to use ourselves
that have features and a personality we weren’t
able to find in other brands as students or
professional players.
Our instruments represent the passion and
expertise within our company and demonstrate
unequivocal value for money, so they can bring a
sense of loyalty, trust and enjoyment to all who
use them.
Zonda instruments allow players of all ages to
experience the absolute joy of playing music from
the very first notes.
They are designed to help young musicians grow
and excel quickly by being designed correctly.
Zonda delivers ease of play, excellent response
and beautiful tonal characteristics.

There is a certain beauty to the look of a saxophone when it is done right. Using honey-gold lacquer instead of clear, making sure the bell is hand-engraved instead of using a machine. Those touches do matter, to you and to us.
A saxophone must be more than looks though-it has to have a flexible sound and
fantastic projection without being edgy. The 101 has all of this and is ready for any band room situation.
WHETHER IT IS ON STAGE OR IN THE BAND ROOM, THE ZONDA ALTO SAXOPHONE IS READY TO PERFORM FOR YOU.
