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.

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!”

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.

Super-fast help, excellent consultation, great service.

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!

A great workshop with a very sympathetic lecturer, Dr. Matthias Keidel. I’d love to come back.

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…

Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

Thank you very much for the refreshing workshop. It was amazing how well the very different participants came together. The atmosphere in your shop, between all those super saxophones, is simply unbeatable. Thanks also to the speaker, who was able to prove his teaching talent once again.
