Our Services

Everything we aim to do is highly personalized and will require a few brief conversations.

Saxophones

Saxophone SalesWe sell saxophones from our inventory, local and international customer consignments; sometimes "As Is" or "Rebuilt" and/or customized to your requests. We can also help you sell your sax.
RebuildsA full disassembly and installation of new parts with coordinated upgrades per request.
Playing Condition WorkA"Tune-up"--often referred to as "PC Work" or "COA". Although mostly for local customers, these adjustments are often paired with our "Full Oils" & cleaning option. Please inquire.

Mouthpieces

Mouthpiece SalesWe seek excellent vintage mouthpieces to sell that can possibly be customized to your liking .
Repairs & RefacingMajor to minor - Chips, cracks, toothpads, dents, curve/tip enhancements.
Mouthpiece PairingAfter a brief consultation, we can coordinate work on your mouthpiece or one from our inventory.

Consulting

Consignment & AppraisalWe are happy to help sell your sax on consignment! Also we can offer a Formal Appraisal, such as those needed for insurance ($75.00 in person).
VIP ScoutingIf we don't have what you're looking for, we'll help you find it! - long or short-term options.
ResearchScan "The Vault" for past research on Sound Files or Comparisons. And, if we need to do a custom request with current inventory, I'd be happy to queue something up for you.

Restorations

Silver restorations are the most common. We do not "Re-Lacquer" saxes. While not every sax can qualify for the labor-intensive work of a Restoration, we have done more than a few sentimental projects to bring saxes back to life! You don't need a 5-digit Selmer to warrant having this type of Restoration.

There are a variety of options in a WWS Restoration. The most common, and recommended one is "Silver" (shiny or Matte). But we've also been part of "Bare Brass"--shiny or matte, "Gold" -- shiny or matte, Nickel, and a blend of a few options. Billing quotes are always customized, however, you'll certainly need to budget $3000.00 just to do yourself justice.

Personalized Service

Nothing brings me more joy than thoroughly helping my customers get what they have been searching to find. In such a specialized world, saxophones must meet your desires. Even if we don't necessarily need to customize all that much, I know that just being asked will help you confirm that your sax or mouthpiece is setup the way you need it to be.

I stand by the countless references of former & returning clients. You can count on WWS's expertise and care for your requests.
