My hubby and I came here to get a start saxophone for me. We were fortunate to come across Nathan, who was both super knowledgeable and friendly. I had lots of newbie questions for him, such as maintenance or even how to play a first note, and he was very open about answering them and letting me try the sax to make sure I was 100% happy with it. I've wanted to learn the sax or clarinet since I was young. I'm so glad that Nathan was able to assist as I now have the confidence to start learning after so many years. Thanks so much again for your help and will definitely be recommending both the shop and your service to others!

We bought 3 saxophones (and reeds and mouthpieces etc) over the years for our son from renting a beginner student saxophone to buying a pro Selner as he is going to the Conservatoire next year. Amazing shop and staff. Very friendly and helpful and letting you try instruments with no pressure. The workshop staff are equally friendly, helpful and ready to help. Try the online shop as well with very swift deliveries (very useful when your son realises the day before a concert he is short of reeds...). Go to this shop you won't be disappointed.

Sax Heaven! Such an incredible variety of saxophones, it's worth a visit just to marvel at them all. They also stock plenty of mouthpieces, instrument accessories and books. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, most of them amazing musicians. There are multiple studio spaces at the back to try out your instrument or mouthpiece, and a repair hub for any fixes or checks to your instrument. This is a great place to go whether you're a seasoned professional or a beginner. I can't praise this place highly enough and I can't stay away!

Went to Sax to get my old saxophone serviced, and was given a very honest impression by those at the workshop, no BS or anything. Just told me that because of its state, it would probably cost £600 to have it fully serviced, and it would be more cost-effective to just buy a new one. When I asked to look at some clarinets, very helpful guy provided me with a room, reed, mouthpiece and a selection of clarinets and just allowed me to try them out. Informed me about their very interesting hire scheme, instead of paying the whole balance and committing at once. Top customer service. Top place.

Amazing store, all staff are attentive and knowledgable to all equipment they stock, ensuring you invest in the right products for you.

The staff are really helpful. I went to buy a new mouthpiece for my alto. After telling the member of staff kind of what I wanted and how much I had to spend. He gave me 5 to try and saxophone off the shelf which is the same as my own at home. They have a load of practice rooms where I gave them all a go. The mouthpiece I bought is brilliant and makes my saxophone as a whole play a lot better. I will defiantly be coming back if I need to buy anymore saxophone related items.

W. 9.

Haven’t bought a sax form here yet but i can tell from video and photos these saxophones are good quality by looking at them

S. W.

I've always found Sax.co in both London and Crowborough to be a very good experience - professional, knowledgeable friendly and helpful. Looking forward to checking out the new shop - a much easier journey to Waterloo, thanks guys and gals!

C. G.

Excellent staff. very knowledgeable. I spent several hours playing saxophones from their vast range. I was able to purchase a saxophone which I am very pleased with. It was not the one that I originally went in to buy but I had ample time make a decision, and the staff member who was supporting me was very helpful and brought down a good range of saxes for me to try out. So I knew I had the best instrument for me. Excellent support whenever I have been there. Highly recommend Sax & Co. London. Whether you are after your first instrument or upgrading.

One more time, super pro and honest. My Sakkuzu saxophone needed to be fixed, nothing to bad. The engineer took a quick look, said that a easy fix and just putted the keys who were loose on place (after +2tears)... He didn't charge anything...I was thinking that I did something bad to my saxophone, but not at all. He could tell me that I had to leave my saxophone for a few days and charge me ££ for his work, but he didn't. That was very honest. So go for it, if you have any questions about saxophone, just visit the store and speak with the friendly staff. Happy saxy day!

M. S.

The most helpful staff, the widest stock and reasonable prices - the best saxophone store. If you are looking for a specific item, do inquire whether it is in stock, but if it is not, they can contact you when it becomes available. After being reunited with my saxophone following a long hiatus, I found myself unable to practice without disturbing my neighbours and needed a convenient solution to mute the horn. Having researched my options, I found that Sax.co.uk store had a full range of mutes available. The staff guided me through the setup and use of the devices and gave me plenty of time to try them out in one of the rooms. If I ever need another horn, or help getting the most out of my current instrument, I know where to look!

T. T.

Excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and an overall great experience. Within seconds of walking through the door, I was approached by Michael who immediately put me at ease as I asked for help in shopping for a new soprano. Being given a range of saxophones that fitted in to my budget, as well as above and below, really helped with finding the right one for me. It’s not often you get to immediately compare such a range of instruments to get a true sense of similarities and differences, and that is really the strength of Sax.co.uk; having a vast selection along with staff that really know what they’re talking about. I would definitely recommend the shop to anyone in the market for a new instrument, even if it’s only to get a sense of what’s out there. With a recommended annual service, I’m looking forward to visiting again in the future.

K. B.

Friendly staff members, perfect for people who love everything saxophone as everything is in one compact space. I preferred the old building near Euston but the new location is still central ! Always feel a bit awkward in the shop as there are not many places to sit and it can take quite a while to have a good look at everything to decide what is right for you.

J. M.

Top service, friendly and with great tips for people planning their first saxophone purchase. Really impressed with how relaxed and full of advice they were. Would definitely recommend

B. C.

Unsurpassed range of saxophones and accessories. Staff are all practicing saxophonist so can give you advice from first hand experience. I had a problem with a saxophone stand that I had changed my mind about and it was exchanged for a different model without a problem. They also have an excellent website.

C.

A professional team of players that are quick to share advice and experiences along with a warm welcome. A whole range of saxophones from beginners to professional that can be played for comparison in a relaxed atmosphere. Similar with mouthpieces, an excellent place to test before purchase. Also found the technicians professional, friendly and openly quick to offer advice on technique and set up. A visit is highly recommended!

E. N.

Highly recommended! They have a huge variety of saxophones and wind instruments to suit every budget. Whether you chose your first instrument or want to upgrade you are in the right place. Staff is very usefull and helpfull. They are very polite and give you best advice, especially Michael , the man who served me, he did a great job. I had my saxophone on finance in minutes. Thanks Sax.co.uk

B. R.

An extremely friendly and knowledgeable team of saxophonists who are not at all afraid to give you time alone to practice with a selection of saxophones, chosen based on your style, budget etc. My family came with me, and were made most welcome too. The vast array of saxophones in this shop, alongside the expertise and affability of staff, really does make it something special - a must visit and I would thoroughly recommend.

C.

I love the selection of instruments and mouthpieces here. The testing rooms really are fairly unique and provide an opportunity to try before buying. The store was a little light on staff when I viaited, resulting in quite a wait, but when I was served the staff demonstrated fantastic professional expertise and really know their stuff. In short this is sax heaven for all players!

H. H.

Expected to see more saxophones - as the self-proclaimed largest sax retailer in the UK, I was surprised at the range. Lots of accessories, nice rooms to try out instruments. Free drinks!

J. M. A.

Largest collection of saxophones I have ever seen! This is the place to go if you are looking for a saxophone - whether it is a beginner horn or a specific professionel model. The staff is very friendly and helpful and lets you try out whatever you are looking for - free of charge.

A. V.

Wow! If you can blow into it, you can buy it here. They have an extraordinary selection of wind instruments. If you can name a horn, they have it. It was a pleasure just to walk around and see all of the different takes on instruments most of the consider standard (bass clarinet anyone?) or the wide range of wooden flutes (not to be confused with a recorder). Thankfully the tremendous selection was matched by a friendly, knowledgeable and patient staff. Don't forget to go downstairs to see the Tuba collection. If I could find the string equivalent of this store I would be thrilled.

W. S. a. C. P.

A fantastic shop if Saxophone is your thing. Massive range of horns, all of which your more than welcome to try. I was particularly interested in trying the Sakussa Baritone. Nothing was too much trouble to make this happen. Staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable on their subject. It’s probably as well that it’s so far from home. I ended buying the Bari, might end up being my go to horn 🎷🎷🎷🎷

K. W.

Bought a mouthpiece from the store Did not know what i really wanted but the guy (forgot his name) was really helpfull and very knowledgeable and made sure i was happy before i made my purchase He also let me try out the top alto's in the store. I will be back when im ready to upgrade my current sax Cant recommend him more highly I bought a theo wayne shiva marble mouthpiece and are looking to have a great time playing it

L. R.

Amazing place. Went in with my friend from Tokyo who was buying a soprano sax. I know nothing about the sax, but Michael was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic that I came out knowing quite a bit! Really interesting experience with great service!

H. F.

The place is great and the whole team is amazing. There is a big selection of horns and accessories to choose from. Now there is a bigger selection of other wind instruments, so doublers don't have to go anywhere else. What I like the most about the team is the fact that although they all play great, they have different takes on sound concepts, so no matter how picky you are there is always someone to talk to and get an advice from. I have bought a few horns there and several accessories and well yes you have to try before buying but that's logical since instruments are like clothes, one single design doesn't suit everyone. They sell instruments, they don't make them, so if selmer is inconsistent that's not their fault. They set them up but they can't do magic. Anyway, I bought myself an excellent Ref 36 there, but I tried A LOT of horns and that was no issue with them at all. I strongly recommend this place to everyone from absolute beginner to pro. Just don't be shy to ask if you are a beginner or if you are on a low budget. This team is very knowledgeable and professional.

R. G.

I really do like this shop - so much so that I have bought, to date, four saxophones there. The staff are extremely helpful, yet they will also leave you alone with an instrument so that you may try it out in privacy. When I bought my baritone, a Yanagasawa B922 (probably the best baritone on the market, I might add!) I bought my family along, and they too were made most welcome - with free hot chocolate! Every visit is a great experience - even if you just need some advice. I cannot recommend Sax. Co. Uk enough. Thank you Adrian Woods and all the team.

A. B.

Very friendly, informed, and helpful staff. I particularly like that they give you as much time as you need to try out gear, will lend you a horn to try out mouthpieces, and have plenty of rooms to try things out. Highly recommended.

R. G.

I bought all four of my horns here, a few years ago. An absolutely fantastic shop. The staff are always helpful, but never interfering. All in all, five stars!

J. G.

We had a wonderful experience upgrading our daughter's saxophone recently (August '15). I had rung and spoken to Wendy a few days before our trip to London and she couldn't have done more to help us or been more pleasant. We spent many hours in the store, with our daughter choosing 'the perfect sax'. We had no idea what we would end up buying - and although it took a long, long time for our daughter to find the right one, Wendy couldn't have been more patient and helpful. She even played some of the saxes herself so that our daughter could hear them from a different perspective. Thank you Wendy - we definitely couldn't have bought one without all your help and advice.

b. R.

Excellent store they have time for you Julian and Jim have helped me with my purchases If Carlsburg made saxophone stores it would be this one

D. L. V. E.

the store has many saxophones of different price ranges and also flutes, clarinets, armonicas, cases, stands, straps and care products.

P. H.

Looking to upgrade to an intermediate alto - but being what I would optimistically call an improving beginner I was slightly daunted about both the range of choice and test playing among some clearly accomplished musicians. I should not have worried. The staff, especially Paul, could not have been more helpful. I was talked through the merits of various models and left alone with a selection to try for as long as I wished. While I could hear some lovely sounds being made elsewhere in the shop, I felt relaxed and encouraged to enjoy myself regardless of my relatively low standard. Add to this an extremely good deal on a beautiful Conn-Selmer with a Rousseau mouthpiece included, I left a very happy man. I cannot recommend the place highly enough.

T. D.

Awesome shop with lots of choice

Staff very helpful, available and knowledgeable. A lovely experience for my 16 year old son's birthday treat to buy a Tenor Sax!

Great Service - very patient and happy to have a 10 year test a baritone- very honest and friendly. Did not try to sell us the most expensive option - thank you James Great Service

Great place for all musicians of all levels. The professionalism & knowledge of the staff there are 2nd to none. First class service, first class care!

K. M.

Saxophone heaven, but phone and check stock before you rock up in person! Website covers BOTH shops, so what you desire might be down in Crowborough, not London, bummer!

a. s.

I have had dealings with this store for over 5 years both on the retail side and the repair shop .I am more than pleased with the excellent service that I have received there . their service has been outstanding whether buying ,getting a service ,asking advice or just looking .Their new premises really shine

N. E.

They do not let you take instruments home on approval, unlike other retailers. It is difficult to judge an instrument after a short blow in one of their rooms

T. H.

Great shop, staff and everything in it. Wish I had a bit more money for a new sax haha

The staff here can't do enough for you, helpful, knowledgeable and more importantly extremely capable.

Received some very useful and friendly advice about an old saxophone. The staff were kind enough to spend over 30 mins talking me through what would need to be repaired, they provided an approximate valuation and recommendations on my options. Both guys in the workshop were clearly passionate and informed. There was no pressure from them which was refreshing. I'd highly recommend!
