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.

… 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…

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!

Dear Reiner,

my thanks go naturally out to you! I am overjoyed to have had the possibility to try out so many one-of-a-kinds and find out which one best fits with me. Your feedbacks made me very happy because they really helped me to make a choice.

Continue doing what you’re doing with what you’ve built up there! It‘s really a great thing, and I’m recommending it to all the Saxophonists I know.

I completely forgot to say thank you for this interesting and great workshop: Well, thank you for organising it so well. I think you are not only an important shop for saxophones and accessories, you have really become a centre for promotion and further education for saxophonists, with your workshops and your newsletter.

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.

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.

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
