Description:

Woodwind instrument advice, reviews, care, repair maintenance. Whether you're interested in buying an instrument, maintaining your flute or clarinet, hints on saxophone repairs or just plain curious about woodwind - you'll find something to interest you here, presented in a clear and relaxed manner. Things are changing rapidly on the Coronavirus front, but for the time being I'm still seeing clients. You are still welcome to drop by the workshop (by appointment), but until the situation changes radically I'm still adhering to recommended best practices - which you'll find in my policy for handling repairs for the duration. Please be aware, though, that I'm extremely busy at the moment - so there may be a delay in taking your work on. And because I've been so busy I haven't had time to post any updates - but I had a horn come in that simply had to be reviewed. Go have a look at my review of the Thomann Low Jazz baritone (down to Bb). As for the rest of the site, you'll find hard-hitting reviews that show no fear or favour; commonsense advice about looking after your instruments; myths debunkified; clear explanations and maybe one or two laughs. So fill your mug/glass/pipe/atty, give your mouse a buff and click on. You know it makes sense.... Recent: Not one, but two Hanson LX tenors find their way onto the workbench. 'Very heavily influenced' by the Selmer MkVI is the selling point of this horn - but does it live up to the sales blurb? Updated: The Martin Committee III alto review gets an update with the addition of a review of the Magna. Is it just a blinged-up Comm.III, or is there more to it? Recent: The Selmer (London) Super Pennsylvania tenor. I find out what it is, and whether it's super. Updated: After 15 years I revisit the Selmer Reference 54 alto review. Has anything changed? The Gear4Music Ultra-Cheap bari sports a new badge, but has it got any better? Check out my overview of the Rosedale BTS-500G. Recent: It ain't light on your wallet...or around your neck. The 7500 Yanagisawa T-WO32 Elite tenor. Updated: Another addition to the rolling review of the Keilwerth SX90R tenor sax. This time it's a 129xxx model. Looks nice...but is it all show and no blow...? The SHWoodwind F.O. Guide To Octave Key Problems. (Warning: It's long. It's very long. It's very long indeed.) Updated (again): Oiling the action - for geeks. Testing the 'multigrade method' of oiling. Updated: Dealing with green spots (AKA Verdigris). An overview of mechanical and chemical methods of removal (Addendum added March 2020). Third time lucky - the mysterious case of the bent A key.
