Do you have many saxophone shops in your area? How expensive are the horns?

Dear Prof James,
I think you ask me about special saxophone shops in Moscow region. This is a very sensitive issue for Moscow saxophone players, because we have only one. But we have the musical instruments store which has saxophone department with reeds, mouthpieces and few saxophones.
Special saxophone shop is called "Mariachi".
Mariachi site is here
http://www.mariachi.ru
This store hosts master classes, presentations.
The prices (in rubles) and brands can view here

The ruble exchange rate to the pound 1 pound = 84 rubles

Interesting that it appears the "Mariachi" range of horns is made by P. Mauriat. Also how well do the Roy Benson horns sell?

I don't know how well is Roy Benson horn sell, but I know that in Russia such horns usually buy for beginners and musicians of school bands.
As for P. Mauriat horns. I know that James Carter visited Mariachi in 2012 with presentation of this brand. And everybody now can see bari sax with his signature.
Video - James Carter's master class in Mariachi.

I thought saxophones in Russia would be very expensive...

but saxophones in Russia are cheaper than in NZ - now I realize how much we get ripped off in this country...Aotearoa - land of the long white cloud - no, land of the big rip off...🙁

Most Maoris wouldn't know...but I reckon...

"Whenua kaita korepe" - whenua = land, kaita = big, korepe = rip off...

or let the late Billy T have the last word...

Enjoy...

P.S. Lands for Bags was a Kiwi nationwide business selling luggage, bags, etc - since disappeared...ah the 80s...

Who knows what you get up to in deepest, darkest Berkshire...I think you've been hanging around with Zinny Brooke and Fitzpatrick too much and they've been leading you astray... :rofl:
