Claude Lakey and Fender Music Foundation Give to KC's 5 Star Jazz Band
Kansas City's 5 Star Jazz Band is an incredible non-profit community music program that gives young musicians the unique opportunity to train like professionals in front of a paying audience.
So Claude Lakey teamed up with Fender Music Foundation, a charity that provides instruments to music education programs across the USA, to outfit their sax section with some new gear, and we couldn't be more "blown away" by the results!
After devoting nearly a year to product research and the development of manufacturing technologies, Claude Lakey is announcing that we are suspending the launch of IVRY Reeds, the world’s first harmonically resonant synthetic reed.
Why did this happen?
