this ), saxophone restoration skills and saxophone education

you all of these at the same time and 100s of our customers

put only a true professional saxophone player can test the work

Mike at SA Musical Instruments is teacher of
woodwind and pro band player ex NAvy Band ( flute ) too and
also has fair knowledge of saxophone which he taught for a few
years before starting this business.
. Some chinese models at surprisingly affordable
costs are also a now available and are very reasonable saxophones
but make sure you know the difference in ths price range .
JUPITER or YAMAHA are even made in china these
days as a glance at their web www.yamaha.com
will show you. Yamaha now has 2 factories in china and this
has contributed to a lively and skilled workforce in other areas
of china as the skills are passed on
These brands are mostly known for their durable
quality amongst other qualities like ease of playing
but there are so
many brands now available worth
seriously considering
We also import many other brands
i. Have a look here at this
saxophone
repairers review -about entry level saxophones now
available at half the price and increasing in quality more and
more each year
Saxophone repair and final setup is a demanding
task and put simply increases the playability of any saxophone
a good 20 to 30 percent. and that definitely includes our new
models too
Setup of saxophones cannot be overemphasized.
The way you play - pressures on the keys, how you react to the
mouthpieces available and so many factors in regulation of key
mechanism , intonation regulation and padding -well give us
cal and well guide you more according to your particular needs
