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 !
I've had the privilege of watching Marianne and her incredible staff take Sax Machine from the top Atelier in France to the greatest Saxophone Shop and Resource Center in the world. You're just not doing it right if you're in Paris and don't find yourself there.
Pour qu'à l'art on s'adonne,
Que la musique sonne
Et que le jazz bouillonne,
Pour qu'un public frissonne
Devant Lou Donalson ;
Il est une championne,
Qui de plus est patronne
D'une échoppe mignonne
D'instruments qu'elle pouponne
"Sax Machine" (oui.. James Brone)
(pour que la rime sonne)
L'équipe forgeronne
Vous aura à la bonne :
Technique tatillonne,
Serviable à la personne,
Qui de Selmer à Conn
Guérit les saxophones:
Sonorités aphones
Ou sons de pets-de-nonne :
Tous les défauts ils gomment
Pour que les saxes sonnent,
Qu'ils résonnent et tonnent
Comme au fond d'un canyon !
Je suis heureux en somme,
Plein de bises je donne !
Super magasin très professionnel et sympathique !!
