Sax shop in Freiburg, Germany

[Leo]

Hi there, does anybody know about a place in Freiburg where one can try some of the top brand saxes (Selmer, Yamaha, Yanagisawa, Keilwert) side-by-side? The sooner the better - I will be visiting Freiburg next week... Thanks :-)

Leo - I can't answer your question. but Freiburg is the home of the Jazz & Rock Schule (School) Freiburg, a Berklee-type program. You could contact them and they should be able to point you in the right direction:
