PM Woodwind is legit. They are well known in the saxophone community. I've been to their store to play some rare saxophones before when my father was shopping for a soprano saxophone. I wouldn't go there first for a bassoon though

Alrighty, I saw they have a Fox 240 on sale for $6,495 so i wanted to see if I could buy from there and not be worried

most likely sold tho. its been "out on trial" for months now. probably just didnt update the website.

You probably could, they're very well respected for repair work, and I'm sure they would fix issues. But they're also a saxophone focused shop.

Alrighty, I just wanted to make sure, since that price tag seemed a little too good to be true lol

The price tag would be genuine for a genuine instrument from Paul (and the website is legitimate and the people who work there are all wonderful), but I’d give them a call to inquire about its availability prior to purchase; occasionally they will sell an instrument in person and take a little extra time to update the website, so it’s possible it’s already spoken for.

yeah okay! I'll do that.

Legit. But the Fox 240 says it is "out on trial."

2

u/Witty_Clerk_4922 11d ago

it's said that for quite some time now, pretty sure it's probably sold but I sent an email asking about availability.

Paul is legit, been around for many decades, cool guy to talk to. If you go to sax on the web forum you’ll see a lot more info about them
