I understand that there were two partners in the Dolnet company, going by the names of Messieurs Pigis and Lefevre their workshop was situated at Mantes, the historical 'heart' of France's woodwind craft workshops, and fascinatingly, the home of the Selmer marque. They are often good - sometimes breathtaking - and rank amongst the best saxes I've ever played! Along the way I've made a small collection of Dolnets these I regard as unknown treasures of the sax world, and I rate them very highly indeed. Over the years I've been exclusively collecting French saxes.
