I live on the other side of the globe in Aotearoa,  beautiful New Zealand. A paradise on earth. Anyone who knows it, from photographs or has been there in person, will agree. In summer 2023, it was time to visit my family and friends in the Rheinriver Valley in Germany. And during a happy get-together with friends, I learned that the Rhineland has its very own ‘paradise’! Watching the video “Passion and Profession” confirmed it, speaking from my heart. And this is how I met Reiner in his saxophone paradise, and soon appreciated his expertise and most welcoming way.

I really just wanted to have a look, browse through those lovely instruments, all presented so wonderfully to show their unique character and uniqueness.

And then I fell in love. With MY saxophone.

Reiner was wonderful in his support, his manner easily described: With passion and profession.

So I flew back home “as a couple”, Mr. Silver and I have grown together since then, forming an inseparable bond. My joy to ‘play my horn’ has grown even more. Music, playing my sax, is my passion and devotion. With the right instrument, which feels like my other half, the extension of my breath, it is a truly wonderful experience.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Reiner and his team.

Hello Reiner,

my wife and I were just at your shop and were given a really great introduction. Your charming and unassertive manner was a true reflection of your top-quality consulting. We both felt completely at ease and well-looked-after. For me, a dream came true, and you played a substantial role in that. It was really an experience to remember, and we are already looking forward to seeing you when we visit your workshop again. So once more, we extend our greatest thanks and also our kindest regards.

… very quickly I realised that the best way to achieve my goal of playing freely and improvising was to “be myself”. I can only recommend this SaxWS to everyone…

Hello Rainer, this is truly a sensational Horn. Likely the best MK 6 I ever had. Thanks to your general overhaul, it plays almost by itself.

As soon as I entered this fantastic shop, a really special Saxophone caught my eye.

Following your certified overhaul of my Horn, dear Reiner, the response is lighter and even more gentle – fantastic job, many, many thanks!!!

Dear Reiner, once again, thank you very much for the great day I had at your shop. The opportunity to test so many fascinatingly diverse Vintage Selmers all at once is a dream! That was definitely my Corona highpoint!
The Horn is super – I can’t wait for the first gig.

Thank you once again for the very warm hospitality in your shop. By far the most beautiful shop I’ve ever been in……you have something to by quite proud of…my complements!!!! Jonas and I both noticed that all of the horns have been superbly overhauled……Great job!

Dear Reiner.

I just wanted to write and thank you for making my trip to you in Germany so enjoyable last week.

From our fluid communication during the previous weeks , that answered all my many questions with patience and interest, to the transfer to and from Dusseldorf airport, you made it so easy and felt as if it was a trip to an old friend!

The rural location of your “saxophone heaven” only added to the sense of calm and the variety of vintage horns was incredible. Simply too much choice! I appreciated the use of one of your individual studios to try instruments and at no time felt under any time pressure. I have no doubt that whether a novice or professional, a visitor would depart with a soul richer , for the “Saxophonic experience”. With my sincere best wishes. Mark

I am so glad I found you! … pulled in lots of offers, but never got such good and honest advice as yours. That’s why I finally took the chance and am now elated and happy about the new world that just opened up for me. Can it really be so easy? Finally, I have all the notes …
