Appointments

Appointments allow for the JL Woodwinds team to provide you a personalized, one-on-one experience. You will have priority access to one of New York City's largest inventory of saxophones! All appointments are completely free of charge.

How it works:

• Before you arrive, the JL Woodwinds team will ready the instruments/accessories based on your goals/request. 
• Arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of your appointment to ready yourself and utilize your entire scheduled time. 
• Let us know of what you are looking for! Be specific with what brands and models you would like to view and more importantly why. 
• Give yourself a realistic budget for what you would be comfortable spending on a new saxophone. 

Checklist:

2. Come prepared! Bring your current saxophone including mouthpiece, reeds, ligature, and neckstrap!
3. Bring something to write down notes on, such as model numbers, prices, etc. 
4. Go into the experience with an open mind!

Appointments vs. Walk-Ins

Walk-ins are served on a first-come, first-serve basis. This includes access to instruments and accessories. The JL Woodwinds team is only able to help assist walk-ins intermittently when not assisting appointment holding customers. We very strongly encourage all customers to book an appointment for the most efficient and enjoyable experience.
