If you find yourself on the Emerald Isle you may want to pay a visit to Paddy O'Reedy he's located in County Cork.
While you're waiting you could nip down the road and visit his Aunty Andante Biskey at the Horn and Whistle and try her "Whistle and Sqeak" lunch time special.

I've also heard that Arundo Ligaturo in Milano is to be highly recommended

Living in NL, I don't recognise any of the names on this list. I have no problems with this.

Completely unecessarily, I just want to give a shout out to my by far preferred local sax repair lady Ilse Broeken. I don't have enough experience to judge how technically perfect her skills are, but her personal interest, personal service and general friendliness are impeccable.

She's a musician and she's always personally interested in her clients as musicans. Anything she can fix on the spot within 15 mins, she immediately does without any charge. At other local repair shops I've been to, the response is more often "OK, we'll take a look at it and you can pick it up in 4-5 days. We'll call you." and whatever adjustments are necessary, I always get a bill.

Unsurprisingly, I buy any and all accessories directly from Ilse. Even if these are perhaps 5-10% more expensive than on-line. I also recommend her to other sax players.

Just want to add that 'service quality' can often be as (or even more important) than technical skills.

Yes Mike I can understand your dilema none of my suugestions made it into the top twenty.
I will make a note of your suggestion and add it to the content of my new book:
A comprehensive listing of sax repairers in Europe.
Issa sax broken? Call Ilse Broeken.
Sorry :rofl: Please excuse me, but it is meant to be a fall about laughing thread.
 
I've merged the two threads, for your convenienece

Time to find a winner. As many were two per post it's not op straightfoward to base it on votes of likes/laughs, so what I will do is collate all the entries that got a like or laugh, and then create a poll.

There will be two winners. In the interests of democracy, one chosen by the public vote and one chosen by me.

You can have up to three votes. Poll closes on Tursday
