Please give my compliments to George. He did a terrific job dialing in my Selmer Mark VI tenor! I also threw in my latest CD: "Sun and Shield" as a thank you for your hospitality. It was truly awesome to play all those saxophones!

Hi Mark,
Thanks again for coming up to Truman this past week and for sponsoring Audrey's performance/masterclass! She sounded great and we all learned a lot. The students were excited to try out the mouthpieces, ligatures and instruments too and I'll continue to recommend SaxQuest to them - I appreciate it!

I'm just writing to say that the horn arrived safely here in the Uk a couple of weeks ago, and I've been playing it ever since.
It is a superb musical instrument and defintely looks the part. I don't know who owned it previously but you can tell them that it's gone to a very happy home here in London.
It won't replace the Mark V1 I got from you 5 years ago but it has a classic dark vintage sound and is an ideal compliment to the Mark VI.
I've matched it up with a Florida Double Line Link that I got from you 2/3 years ago (worked on by Brian Powell) which seems to give it a nice mellow set up.
I really appreciated the overhaul on the instrument.
Thanks and best wishes to every at Saxquest.
Thanks again for the info and the great clinic at SaxQuest...I'm practicing!
Best regards,
Bob Kenmotsu
Mark -
Once again, I thouroughly enjoyed the concert/clinic yesterday. I already tried some of the embrochure techniques Bob Sheppard was talking about and am trying to make sense of the results. :-)
Mark.... thanks for all you do to improve the musical life of STL.

My name is Jerral Hawes. My daughter, Hannah, and my wife, Pam, came by to see you last week while we were passing through St Louis.
First of all, we would like to thank you for allowing us to drop in on you for a quick visit. Your sax museum was amazing. I wish we could have had much longer to check it out.
You were very nice to visit with us for a few minutes.
I wanted to let you know that we finally made it home to Rockport, TX yesterday and Hannah and I tried your tip on placing the neck stopper in the bell to help with the low C warble on our Selmer Mark VI. It worked like a miracle. I have had issues with that note sisnce I started playing that horn in 1969 and Hannah has struggled with it as well as she made her way through playing in high school. It is hard to believe that something so simple could totally fix that problem. Thank you for sharing that tip with us. Now maybe Hannah will not struggle with that low C as she starts her college career at The University Of Texas.
Thank you again Mark for your hospitality and for your valuable tip about the low C warble.
Hope to see you again some day,
Jerral and Hannah Hawes
Rockport, TX
I send my sincerest thanks to you for your friendly and encouraging support and for your constant assistance to me in my efforts to provide a genuinely professional level of product and service to our shared clientele.
Our shared history regarding the Otto Link "Tenney Slant" tenor sax mouthpieces goes back to the World Sax Congress in Minneapolis in 2003. All these mpcs supplied to Saxquest have been serial-numbered and you will note that we have reached a total sales volume of 500+ mpcs through Saxquest – an average of 1 pc per week for the duration of production. I think this is remarkable in several respects given the vagaries of the music accessory market. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND GENEROUS PARTICIPATION IN PUBLICIZING AND MARKETING THESE MPCS, MARK!!
Sent with my warmest regards to you all in the Overton and Saxquest families!!

”I am very satisfied with Saxquest and their helpfulness on helping me find a new horn for College that would last me all four years and hold up under rough conditions while sounding even better than many Selmer Mark Vi's or BA's or SBA's out there (depending on serial number). I LOVE THIS HORN!!!!!The P. Mauriat Influence model PMXT-66RX is the best pro model horn you will ever get for $4,000. It's the best thing below a highly coveted vintage horn, but it's a modern horn, which means improved ergonomics, killing killing killing (did I say killing) keywork, and heavy, resonant metal that allows some serious vibration and sound to through the horn. It's a mad blower. The sound is heavenly. Plus, the awesome people at saxquest hooked up the keywork, so it was ready to burn from the second I opened the package. My sax professor at the University was so impressed with the horn himself, he's about to buy the unlaquered version of this horn as well (very, very free blowing, bright and resonant) and he's now playing on a $10,000 SBA and has a guardala sax that he still prefers this P. Mauriat over. THIS IS THE BEST HORN ANY STUDENT CAN BUY, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO BECOME SERIOUS ABOUT JAZZ, OR ABOUT TO STUDY ON A HIGHER LEVEL OF MUSICIANSHIP. Thank you Saxquest- this horn is by far the most valuable horn on planet Earth for $4,000. It's like you guys sold me $14,000 worth the horn for $4,000. Thank you for your pateince and awesome musicianship and attitude in handling everything. -Bryant
