Antigua Winds is a San Antonio, Texas-based manufacturer of woodwind and brass instruments, founded in 1991 by musician and educator Fred Hoey. The company produces saxophones, clarinets, trumpets, flutes, and related accessories across student, intermediate, and professional tiers, with a reputation for offering pro-level features at accessible price points.
The brand is best known for its saxophone line, which spans the entry-level VOSI series, the mid-tier Antigua series, and the professional PowerBell series — one of the early large-bell-flare saxophone designs. In 2011, Antigua partnered with saxophone designer Peter Ponzol to develop the Pro-One saxophones, a high-end line built around Ponzol's specifications. The company also collaborated with Backun Musical Services on the Antigua-Backun clarinet, which was recognized in Music Inc. Magazine's "Top 50 Band Standouts."
Antigua instruments are widely used in school band programs and by working professionals, and the brand maintains a roster of endorsing artists across jazz, R&B, and classical settings, including Marcus Anderson and Eric Demmer, among others.
Antigua has 18 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Alto Saxophones, Clarinets, and Flutes.
