A Conn-Selmer Center Stage Performing Artist and D’Addario educational artist, Dr. Acevedo plays Yanagisawa and Selmer saxophones with D’Addario reeds and mouthpieces exclusively. He currently resides in Decatur, Illinois, with his dog Bucky.
"While I love all of my D'Addario products, I have a particular joy when playing on the Venn reeds. I love not having to worry about reeds in any situation! Whether performing or teaching a long string of lessons, the reeds sound good and perform perfectly every time!"
