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.

Dear people from Saxophonic, heartfelt thanks for the fantastic job you did of overhauling my Mark 6! Nothing is for free, but you deliver what you promise, and top quality at that.

The Horn was janky, but now plays like new. Tight mechanics and light response and anyway tight.

Kudos for the team and, again, thanks.

Tolle Leute, die mit Leidenschaft die Welt ein bisschen besser machen wollen!
Hervorragendes Konzept, um Musiker auf jedem Niveau mit Profis zusammenzubringen – mit sofortiger Verbesserung der individuellen Sounds! Neben dem Austausch von technischen Fertigkeiten war es einfach eine großartige, inspirierende Session.
DANKESCHÖN!

The visit to Saxophonic was a complete surprise; I have never before experienced a beautiful and relaxed day in a music store like the one I spent at Saxophonic………………..It’s like going to a chamber play at the theater and participating in the performance yourself – that’s something that leaves behind its marks forever. My thanks go out to you, Reiner!

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!

I got further in one single tryout session at Saxophonic than in 40 years of desperate travel-cost-intensive searching.

It was my second path that took me to Saxophonic, the first I could really have done without… the start on this path was made more than easy for me by the Saxophonic Team (Reiner, Marion and the sympathetic photographer Felix)! Already just the selection of the Saxophone was a pleasure, I recommend it for everybody!”

I can’t thank Reiner and his Team enough for a magnificent Selmer Mark VI. Reiner took the time to guide me through the highlights of his incredible inventory of over 150 Vintage Selmers and place my unique instrument in a proper context. The only thing that matches your passion is the love for detail and quality of the work you dedicate to the instrument. Top quality! There is no higher recommendation…

Dear Reiner,

heartfelt thanks for everything!! I am extremely overjoyed with the SBA.
I can’t praise you enough. The way you revised the instrument, helped me when testing it, picked me up all the way at the train station, your incredible expertise and the finest nuances you detect in the sound. And naturally your sympathetic and honest manner.

I hope I can manage to make it your way again. It’s really worth the trip.

Long time no see, but the trip to your shop is always worthwhile. My first address for expertise in the sector! Also to be recommended are the Workshops for the different technical skills and levels of knowledge.
