Sax shops in Santa Barbara and L.A. area

[mattk]

I will be visiting the LA and Santa Barbara areas later this month and would love to visit a good sax shop to try out some pro-line baritone saxes and mouthpieces. Any good suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt in Tulsa

mattk, you should check down the page a bit to a post: "sax stores in So. California." There are a lot of great shops mentioned in the L.A. and Orange Co. area.

Thank you. I read the posts and found a wealth of info.

mattk,

In Santa Barbara you can try Nick Rail music. I've been there a couple of times and they seem eager to let you try their horns or mouthpieces. I don't feel it's the caliber of shop you'll find in LA or Orange county but you never know what you may discover.
