In 2018, St. Louis Music secured exclusive North American distribution rights for Antigua Winds. [1]

In 2022, KMC Music was named as the exclusive United States distributor for Antigua Winds Brass and Boodwind instruments. [2] However, there no longer seems to be an exclusive distributor in the USA.

Saxophones

Antigua Winds first began as a saxophone manufacturer. Antigua saxophones include the student Antigua VOSI series, intermediate Antigua series, and professional Antigua Pro - Power Bell Series. Antigua cooperated with Peter Ponzol [3] in 2011 for the Pro-One Saxophones. [4]

Clarinets

The Antigua-Backun clarinet is the latest addition to the range of instruments offered by Antigua Winds and Backun Musical Services. [5] It was on the list “The Top 50 Band Standouts” on Music Inc. Magazine in March 2012. [6]
