I have a good friend in the Netherlands. His name is Henk Jelsma. Henk and I go way back. I remember when he started selling Topsax products in Europe. I remember Henk saying,

I am looking for a good quality saxophone that I can sell in Europe. Do you suppose I could offer your Topsax products on my website?

Doing business with Freeblowing has truly been a blessing. The folks in the Netherlands seem to really like my Legend Series IV saxophones, especially the Patina Matte model, more affectionately referred to as the “Reference 54″ finish.

I asked Henk to send me a short letter about his Freeblowing business. I have posted it below for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks again Henk — it is always a pleasure doing business with you — Bob

Located in the Netherlands my business is engaged in “selling and repairing” saxophones. Recently I started a small school to actually teach folks how to “shop” for a saxophone. My first 4 students enrolled this January and we had a fun time. It was really exciting to listen to and answer all the questions. Everyone got to try different saxophones, learn a few playing techniques, compare quality and prices without having any kind of sales pressure. Some of my students are already busy looking in music stores and second hand shops to take advantage of what they learned. My next class is already completely sold out!

Early on I was selling second hand saxophones which I would then do an overhaul on each instrument. I discovered TOPSAX at Ebay and was immediately interested in these saxophones. I could see right a way there was a good potential for these quality products in my area. I am particularily fond of the LEGEND saxophones and the TOPSAX Gold Plated mouthpieces.

So these days I only sell new saxophones from Bob. If you live in one of the European countries, you might consider buying a TOPSAX or LEGEND from FreeBlowing — I have already paid the Taxes for you !

Take care and keep blowing!
