Testimonials
L'atelier Sax Machine est tout simplement un lieu exceptionnel !
On y trouve une sélection pointue de tout ce qui peut être lié au saxophone : de l'occasion vintage aux dernières nouveautés et même de la location.
Le plus important, c'est la Dream team de Sax Machine !
Cette belle équipe de réparateurs/enchanteurs/conseillers, toujours de bonne humeur et à notre écoute, dirigée par Marianne D'ursin, qui pour certain comme moi l'on connu tout jeune.
Merci pour toutes ces années et longue vie à l'atelier Sax Machine !
Sax Machine : Le palais du saxophone. Depuis de nombreuses années c'est là qu'il faut aller.
Bravo et merci merci Marianne
It was probably 15 or 20 years ago that I was doing a 2-week run at a Jazz Club in Paris and managed to break the post on my tenor that supports the left hand key stack (low Bb and the rest of those low notes). I wandered through all the music shops around Pigalle but nobody was willing to fix it so that I could play that night.
Then I walked around a corner and saw one last little shop, I walked in, apologized for not speaking French, and I met Marianne. She fixed my horn on the spot and I've been going back ever since. In the next years every time I'd get to Paris even if I didn't need a repair I'd bend a spring the wrong way or remove a screw just so I'd have an excuse to visit!
I've been very happy to see the shop grow and now feature a great selection of saxes and accessories, while still providing the best service and a relaxed atmosphere to check out horns and mouthpieces. My highest recommendation!
Cela fait maintenant une vingtaine d'année que j'ai découvert Sax Machine et j'avoue n'avoir jamais vraiment eu besoin de chercher ailleurs meilleurs services. En ce qui me concerne, le service a toujours été honnête et professionnel avec ce supplément d'âme dans l'accueil qui fait (que trop rarement, hélas) que l'endroit est vraiment chaleureux. Marianne d'Ursin, fondatrice de l'enseigne, a su s'entourer au fil des années d'une équipe solide et sympathique.
