Sax Appeal

I've ranted elsewhere about how pleasurable and wonderful it can be to speak with real experts when you go to shop or buy a ticket.

This weekend we found another such emporium - sax.co.uk on Denmark St near Tottenham Court Road.  We (I say we, I mean eldest really) got to try out mouthpieces in soundproofed (ish) booths and talk to an assistant who really seemed to know what they were talking about. 

And as a result, of course, he managed to radically upsell us (horrible term).  We went in intending to spend around £30 and ended up shelling out more than three times that amount. 

And enjoyed almost every minute of it. 

Real class.
