Ben Reece recently completed overhauls on two flutes for me:  and open-hole Gemeinhardt, and a professional Haynes low b-foot.   The work on both instruments was outstanding, and both instruments look and play as new.  I am a retired Broadway musician and attempted to get my Haynes overhauled before I moved (from New York City to St. Louis).  The Haynes factory in Boston was so backed up, they weren't able to take one of their own flutes, even on a waitlist.   Imagine my delight when moving to St. Louis and discovering SaxQuest!  (Already they promptly performed quick repairs on 2 clarinets and a tenor sax.)  This repair shop is a great gift to the musician, throughout the whole instrument lifetime and professional career!    My flute plays great and Ben was a dream to work with -- steady, prompt, incredibly skilled, and a good listener too

I drove to SQ with horns and mpcs. hoping to trade for a tenor.  Excellent people to work with.

I ended up buying a new Yamaha 82Z tenor.  Sweet!

Had a Selmer BS400 Bari Sax that my son played through high school. He is now in the college marching band but commented that the instrument was a huge struggle to play. We took it to the local music shop several times. They would perform small adjustments but couldn’t find anything major. My son noted that the one he played back in high school of the same model had no issues (the shop repaired those also with being local) but the shop finally mentioned it could be how he played. On a mission, I drove 1-1⁄2 hours to Saxquest to obtain a second opinion. Walked in and spoke directly with one of the repair techs. He immediately pulled it out of the case and started looking at it while talking with my son. He immediately noted several issues, gave descriptions/results of each when playing, and my son could immediately relate. Went to pick it up weeks later and I had my son pull it out of the case in the lobby to make sure everything was correct. As the tech came out to check, you could see the enjoyment and change in how my son played the sax. A+ service from the Saxquest Team with taking the time to listen. Price was actually lower than the local shop and worth the drive. 

These guys are the fastest at responding to queries. I DID NOT expect an immediate reply to an email I sent on July 4, but they did, and then followed up to another email I sent on Sunday July 5! John and his team must check emails 24 hours a day. I'm not sure they ever take a day off. And the couple times I've called, everyone I talk to is super knowledgeable about the saxophone. A real treasure to the St. Louis area.

I was referred to Saxquest by a Korean music teacher from Seoul, Korea. I was looking for another alto sax in addition to my Selmer USA AS300 alto. I emailed Saxquest for some questions after brownsing the website for different brands. Jon Huff was very helpful, attentive and patient answering my emails back and forth several times. At the end, with his help, I decided on a new PM 67R DK alto. I placed the order last week. It was delivered last evening and very well packed inside and outside. It came with a black contoured padded soft case, shoulder strap. The instrument fits tightly inside the case preventing shifting. I'm pleased with the 67RDK because it sounds deeper than my Selmer AS300 which is what I'm hoping for since I plan to keep both for a while. I certainly come back to Saxquest again when it's time for a tenor. Thank you Jon for such a nice service and positve experience buying on-line from Saxquest. 

What a wonderful job you did refurbishing my clarinet! It has never sounded, played or looked so good! You are now my permanent repair shop.

I want to thank Saxquest for the very enjoyable experience purchasing the P Mauriat gold lacquer System 76 Tenor Saxophone. I have been amazed at how well this saxophone plays. Saxquest did a great job with the setup. I have been playing a Selmer Mark VI Tenor for over 40 years and the P Mauriat System can more than hold its own with the Mark VI. In fact, it sounds better than the Mark VI because the Mark VI needs to be overhauled. Saxquest is the place to choose if you want to purchase a quality saxophone. Thanks again!

After playing the saxophone extensively at a younger age, life got in the way and I stopped for several years. Starting over was disappointing. That once “trademark” tone was gone, seemingly forever, even with consistent practice.

I bought a C Melody on a whim and was, again, disappointed n the tone. Rather than buy a cheaper mouthpiece in hopes of eventually working my way up to something better, I purchased “The Tram” from Saxquest with help and patient guidance from Product Specialist Zac Minor.

Fully prepare to face the inevitable dashing of hopes, I put the mouthpiece on and started to play. Wow, did I start to play! The full, mellow tone was back and better than ever through all ranges. Total control of volume, immediate response… better performance than the custom metal mouthpiece I used when performing years ago, and at a quarter of the price.

I heartily recommend Saxquest and their fine products to students, professionals, even old geezers like me who just want to enjoy playing again. Give Zac a call or an email for personalized expert direction.

Hi Zac.  I have now been using the Hoss soprano mouthpiece for a couple weeks, and it definitely improves my overall soprano playing. 

Dear Mr Mark Overton, 12-17-2017 I am very happy with this saxophone. It is one of the finest altos I have ever played. It works very well with the Saxquest Alto "Lead " mouthpiece. It has a very good tone.( not too dark, yet not too bright. The Berg Larsen mouthpiece sounded too dark. I commend you on the look and design of this sax. I believe Saxquests' saxes look and play better than any other pro alto that I have played in my career, including the ones that I have bought from Saxquest over the years. The sax is truly amazing and a real pleasure to perform with. I hope that you can post this critique on your forums and/or website, so that other professionals and/or students can see my review. Thank You sir very much, Malcolm K Williams, Jr.
