Finding one’s own flow was probably a big challenge. But it was an impressive experience how Jonas picked up each of the participants with didactic skill, took away their fears and made them play freely. Harmonious, beneficial… People who had never seen each other before suddenly played the saxophone harmoniously, freely. It was great, I learned so much.

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.

That was awesome! Thanks for the great experience!

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 wanted to express my gratitude. After your good advice, I purchased a Selmer MK VI which gives me great enjoyment. It’s always a pleasure to come to your shop because the offers are reliable and the pricing for trade-in instruments is fair. And naturally the atmosphere and cappuccino should not go unmentioned

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.

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!”

… 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…

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 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 …
