Paul is just a fantastic and honest guy. I bought my low A Couf bari from him, and he worked with me to safely arrange this rare Blackgold horns safe arrival on the West Coast.I have also sent non-sax players his way with gear they have inherited. He went above and beyond to treat them fairly, right, and well.You can trust PM Woodwind for all your saxophone and other woodwind needs. If I lived in the area, he would be my tech.He is just one of the most honest, kind, and fair people you will find in the music store business today.

Brought in my wonky, ancient tenor sax for an estimate. I thought it was going to be a huge deal, but they fixed the problem in literally four minutes and were so nice and helpful. Definitely coming back for any minor or major repairs needed. Theres definitely a reason theyre rated so highly!!

Helpful, kind, professional, knowledgeable, fair. I came all the way from Missouri for their deals on used selmer altos and got a better deal than anywhere else I could find. They also were willing to buy my yamaha saxophone and discount the price from my new saxophone in the same day. I definitely recommend going here for all your saxophone needs!

Best place for service. Paul is the greatest with the Selmer Mark VI. He has overhauled and rehabbed a great piece of history....Thanks as always...

Great selection and service. Pretty much a living library of musical instrument knowledge. Got my current horn here, and already confident I’m a lifelong customer. Can I give it 6 stars instead of 5?

There is a saxophone store within a short walk of my house. Amazing. Ive been in a few times over the years, but I really should do more here. I stopped in the other day to see if they had a new ligature for my old Otto Link mouthpiece. They have lots of used mouthpieces and ligatures. After digging through the Link collection I left with a new vintage ligature that fit better than my original one. Great local business for the neighborhood.

If you are a Sax Player Like I was for Many Years Paul is one of the best in the country. His selection is always top notch, he can get you almost anything at the best pricing. Plus when it is time to sell or flip a horn he has the buyers and foot traffic to sell almost anything. He was able to help sell my Bari in 6 months or less which is crazy as their is not as big of a market for high end Baris vs. Altos or Tenors. I will always go to Paul first when it comes to Sax repair, parts, new horns, etc.... he is really good at what he does and the staff is awesome.

Great shop with top notch woodwind service. Paul and his professional team are an invaluable resource for horn players in the Chicago area. Excellent service and a wide variety of horns in stock. Have had multiple horns repaired and overhauled at PM Woodwind, and the quality of their work and customer service is always stellar.

I sold a Jupiter Saxophone. The owner was very nice, knowledgable, approachable and I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy or sell woodwind instruments!

Review №35

There is not one other repairman or person I trust with my Baritone Saxophone. Paul is the best tech this side of New York or Los Angeles. His reed prices and selection are great. If you are a woodwind player, this is the place to go for everything from reeds to cases to instruments and the repairs that both routinally need to be made and need to be made immediately.

Bought a gently used tenor sax at an awesone price last xmas. Weve chosen to support our outstanding brick and mortar and return for all our reeds and accessories. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient staff willing to work with you to make the right choice for you. Full service onsite repair facility is a bonus.

I drive 35 miles to see Paul Maslin and his staff for my music needs. Been going to the location for the past 5 years or so. I do have closer choices, but PM Woodwinds has undoubtedly become my sax store. Paul, particularly is fair, personable and extremely customer-oriented. He always helps me get a fair deal and is willing to accomodate my requests with friendliness. His staff is a great reflection of him. They embody all of Pauls professional characterictics. Paul and team, thank you for making every visit to PM Woodwinds a great one. You got me hooked for life, and I would recommend your store/services to any woodwind player with confidence! P.S. Paul plays a mean Sax.
