Testimonials
Since we started selling our saxophones, some of our customers have been so satisfied that they have written the following reviews of our products:.
From Sax on the Web
"I would tend to agree with sasquatch. I have a gold plated Barone tenor, a bare brass alto, and a gold soprano. I have played the soprano for about 4 months and the tenor for about one month and the alto somewhere in between. Quite a few comments, as to how nice they look and mostly as to how nice they sound. They all seem to be built well, and they all play great. I like that they all have the same keywork, they all work well, blow easy and respond well. It is possible to get them to sound pretty much like I want them to. Lots easier to play than the old 6m or
zephyr. I have not had any problems with them. A little adjusting on the soprano that I was able to do myself after a month or so. I could not justify spending more for a top name after playing the Barones'. I also think the soprano has truly great sound and the tenor is not far behind." •••
Just a little testimonial footnote here: I bought a bare brass low A bari from Phil just about exactly a year ago, and a bare brass soprano about 2 months after that.

Both came packed exactly as described above; both arrived in perfect condition. I've been playing them fairly heavily for a year, and have had no significant problems with either instrument.
The question comes up in these reviews: how well built are these instruments? The answer, often, is: time will tell. A year in, these horns are rock solid, as well as being terrific saxes. The bari in particular is a killer (I love the sop too, but I'm just more into the bari). I have also a Selmer Ref. 36 tenor and a Naked Lady alto: the horns are different, obviously, but I'm about equally happy with the whole group (the Naked Lady needs some tweaking: no, no, hands off fellas!).
I might also usefully add: the finish on the two bare brass horns evolves nicely. Over the course of they year, they went from very brassy yellow to cloudy to darker, as you'd expect. Clearly this process will continue (forever, I suppose), and I can't tell where they'll end up, but I'm well satisfied by the visual aesthetics of the instruments.
Keep Uncle Phil in business! These horns are too good to have 'em fade away from the market.
