Rom Gov commented, “I think that music is all about inspiring people and students, and also being inspired by the musicians you share the stage with. Dixon must feel the same way because their instruments have been designed with a lot of input from artists, and that comes through in the player experience. I’m thrilled to be a part of their roster.”
