ABOUT ME
30 Years of Serving New Orleans
I was born in Munich, Germany and started playing the saxophone at age 15. I was fortunate to have a mentor who showed me how to fix my own sax. After a couple of tries even making my own pads it started to come together.
When I began conservatory at age 24, I was soon working on my fellow students' and teachers' saxophones. In 1993, I received a scholarship for the New School for Jazz in NYC. During that time I started fixing horns for other students and sax players around town.
In 1995 I moved to New Orleans. I’ve been repairing saxophones and playing music here ever since. I only play the saxophone, so I don’t work on clarinets or flutes. I run my workshop out of my house and see my customers by appointment only.
Estimates are free, and I usually need to see the saxophone to understand the work that needs to be done. However, there are some fixed prices:
-
Neck Cork: $20
-
Alto and Tenor Overhaul: $850
-
Bari Overhaul: $1050
-
Handmade Customized Resonators: double the overhaul price. Read more about these resonators.
Give me a call anytime! I look forward to working with you!
