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.

I bought my Mark VI Alto with high F# key at Reiner’s because everything surrounding service and sales was uniquely good. After enjoying a delicious coffee, I was able to try out ca. 15 top-notch Selmer and Yanagisawa Saxophones in the practice rooms with a wonderful view. When I felt an adjustment of the mechanics was needed, Reiner took care of it with expertise, or advised me superbly in response to my questions concerning the different Saxophones. All in all, the visit to Neukirchen-Vluyn was worth the trip if only for the tastefully outfitted establishment and fantastic service. My gratitude goes out to the whole Saxophonic Team for my wonderful new Saxophone.

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…

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

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

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.

Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

That was awesome! Thanks for the great experience!

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 …

Outstanding unassertive consultation. Great atmosphere. Beautiful instruments and 1a service offers. Absolutely thrilled.
