Is your instrument not playing quite as it should, or do you want to make sure everything is still functioning properly? Come by for a free check-up and expert advice during Special Sax's walk-in consultation hours.
Every Saturday between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, Johan, Gijs, and Hein are available at the Haarlem Schalkwijk World Music School. They'll check your instrument, offer advice, and make minor adjustments on the spot if needed.
Is there more to the problem than just a minor adjustment? Then we'll take your instrument in for repairs and ensure it's back in optimal condition as quickly as possible.
What does the free check-up include?
During the consultation, we'll assess the general condition of your instrument. We'll look at things like:
- How smoothly valves, keys or keys move
- Whether the instrument closes properly and does not lose air
- Small adjustments and practical cleaning tips
- Advice on maintenance, repair or overhaul
You will immediately receive an honest and expert assessment, so you know exactly what is needed to play comfortably and with pleasure again.
