Junkyard Saxophone Player Pen Holder

The saxophone was developed in 1841 by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian-born instrument-maker, flautist, and clarinetist working in Paris. In doing so, Sax wanted to develop an instrument which had the projection of a brass instrument with the agility of a woodwind.

Strike up the Band! This junk yard saxophone player in the form of a pen holder is the product of the imagination and ingenuity of a Vietnamese engineer-turned-artisan. Working from his home-based workshop, he transforms salvaged metal scraps into wonderful junkyard critters, home decor and smart office/desk accessories. Over the years, demand for his creations have continued to grow. The success that began in his small workshop has now expanded beyond the borders of Vietnam to support artisans in India as well. It is a wonderful success story and a truly global fair trade product. Besides making a great gift for dads, curio collectors, and music lovers, each whimsical style proves that to recycle is a beautiful thing.
