Haynes Saxophone Manual

I guess there is a sucker born every minute, and I am a big one for buying this piece of crap. It is totally useless, hard to understand, pretentious, and employs the writing style of a nine year old. Dont't waste your money!

I couldn't agree with you more, Harry. One of my students bought this money waster. I suggested he return it to Amazon. Most of what is in this so called guide is just plain old wrong. I am surprised that Haynes, who print pretty good car books, chose to be assoiciated with this.

I have not seen a copy. The author seems to be another one of those guys who popped up on the internet a few years back and proclaimed himself an expert. Not having seen a copy, I have no opinion.

I purchased a copy and was very disappointed. The text was unclear and appeared to have been written by children. I thought the images were of poor quality. It is not the same as learning repair from Steve's DVD, which I recommend most highly since the video format enables you to follow the working as it is done.

Greetings from Germany!

I think if you read some of the authors postings on the web you will have your answer as to whether or not you should buy this book. I have not seen a copy of the book itself, so I have no opinion, but have seen a lot of posts by the author which are, to put it kindly, "misinformed"......
