Our Founder
Do you know the feeling of being pursued by an idea? Obsessive? … Perhaps. I have been a saxophonist all my life, and questions have always accompanied me along the way: What really makes the difference?…and what is the underlying cause?
In particular, I have always been fascinated by looking at musical and tonal aspects from a physical perspective. Out of this search, YBRATO and its products were born.
At this point, I would like to thank the teams at Benedikt Eppelsheim Blasinstrumente and Merriam Engineering & Design GmbH for their support in the search for the tools that truly help players express themselves musically.
