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!
