Prices are reasonable and if something isn't in stock in the store they can order it and have it there quickly - usually next day. Also, they have a large selection of stuff to browse when you go. Highly recommended.

I took my son's trumpet (a school loaned instrument) in, after he managed to get the mouth piece…read morestuck in it after only a few days. I was politely directed to the repair part of the shop and told to wait for "Andy" (apologies if the name is wrong). Immediately, a polite woman from behind the counter said "stuck mouth piece? I can do that for you". Sixty seconds later it was all done, I asked how much I owed and was told no charge. The kind lady even showed me how he should put it in and clean it to avoid it getting stuck in future. Amazing and friendly service, you can park directly outside the shop. If my son sticks with the trumpet, I'll be certain to come back to buy him a trumpet for the shop. Rare to see such enthusiastic customer service and kindness. I'm a strong believer in buy local, and local service, and it's so nice to have this reaffirmed

This is, without a doubt, the place to go for everything saxophone related in Cambridge…read more Despite having been born and bred in the city, I now live abroad and only get the opportunity to visit infrequently and rarely with my saxes in tow. When I do, however, it's usually for specialised repair work and the staff are always very accommodating. Daniel (the owner) was kind enough to repair my baritone sax last year as a drop in and Tim did a wonderful job on servicing and repairing my tenor sax this year. The staff are extremely talented and their conscientious individualised approach is excellent. Both instruments now play like a dream. The shop boasts a huge and varied range of accessories such as mouthpieces, ligatures, swabs, cases, slings etc. Avoiding temptation is difficult and I rarely manage to leave the shop without spending money on things I never knew I needed. It's that amazing. They sell a wide range of instruments too and there is a dedicated practice booth upstairs to try instruments or mouthpieces before you buy. I should point out that the shop doesn't solely deal in saxophones. They cover a wide range of single and double reed wind instruments, flutes and brass. Aside from the main shop, the business also operates Reeds Direct, a specialist mail order supplier of reeds offering a huge range at competitive prices. I order all my reeds via the website and the service is of the same great quality as the shop. So, if you're a brass or wind player, this is a great place. If you're not a brass or wind player, visit anyway - you might just be cool enough to become one ;-)
