Almost a year ago, I bought my Alto sax "Dark Vintage" (Omega Series) from CE winds... so it's time for a review. First, I would like to stress here that Mark and Brian made the whole process a lot easier!! I do live in Australia - Canberra and had a concern about buying it from USA... well I'm...

I am not a tech or a professional player but I do have my opiinions, so here goes. What did I do? I found a company that honestly tries to present their products as they are. They are honest and very helpful and will take the time to work with you and your need , questions and concerns. I...

OK guys and gals, I just pulled the trigger on an Alpha Vintage Brushed Gold tenor from CE Winds. I usually debate, research, think , contimplate , hesitate, etc, but I did this almost spur on the moment. I only put in about a week of research on this brand. What I have read seems positive. ...

CE Winds Tenor: Purchasing: Excellent service. Brian is a very reasonable salesperson and a great guy to talk with as well. Packaging: Very well packed, bubble wrapped around case and inside of case, in a well fit box. All of the keys wedged down with a cork-like material. Contents: ...

Hey guys, I'm currently saving up funds to order one of these beauties from Brian. I've got a lot of things for sale if you want to contribute to my cause :). I have been doing a lot of shopping around and decided to go with the brand I already have experience with. Hopefully by mid next week...

I bought a satin nickel Aplha alto sax from CE Winds and I must say I am very impressed. Very good quality, and played well right out of the box. I found two small leaks on the left hand keys - very easy fix since they had set screw adjustments. The finish is more like a bead-blasted texture...

Does anyone use the Silver Shocka mp from CE Winds? These pieces are supposed to be based upon the Guardala Super King and the Guardala Michael Brecker II mp's. I have one for my tenor and one for my alto, love them both.

I can't stand the anticipation! The sax looks just amazing and I can't wait to try it out. I'll give you guys my critique of the sax. But from what I've heard, I'm not going to be dissapointed. :D (Should be in Friday or Saturday). ...

I just received a copper neck from C.E. Winds and it has changed my SA80II tenor into the horn I have been dreaming of. This is the best sounding, easiest playing neck I have tried so far and will now be my "go to" neck for awhile. I now have the original neck, selmer sterling, and now the...

We are going to try this concept out for a while - giving school aged students an opportunity to 'flex pay' for their Alpha Series Saxophone. While we weren't able to launch it prior to the Texas Bandmasters show last week, it has been in the works now for a few months to present this option...

Does anyone know if CE offers a Nickel Silver tenor/alto in the Omega series? What is the premium (over standard lacquer)? Thanks. P.S. I checked their site and didn't see a Nickel Silver listed.

Hey guys, I have been looking at the CE Winds Alpha Curved Sops and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I am interested in curved sops and CE winds seems to have the best prices. Any reviews or first hand encounters with these horns?

Hello everyone, I just got my new soprano from CE Winds today, it is on their payment plan. I was very excited to get it, in silver plate, and that Brian was willing to work with me so much on this. He is a great person and one of the best people I've ever had the chance of buying from! I...

Hello all, I just wanted to take a minute to talk about my CE Winds Satin finish Omega Tenor. Im a firm believer in word of mouth so I always like to tell about my good experiences. I have had this tenor for about 3 months and wanted to get some good play time before I give my thoughts. For the...

Has anyone had any experience with any of the CE Winds alpha series sopranos? I've been looking into sopranos, and I haven't been able to get much info on these horns.

Can anybody give me the lowdown on this instrument? I have not seen CE winds before but the tone seems nice but can someone enlighten me as to build quality and likeness to other saxes... Thanks Saxlad
