About Us

Julian Smith Sax, doing business as The Sax Shop, is a family run store, with Julian as the Corporate Financial Officer, and his wife as the Corporate Executive Officer. The idea originated in January of 2020 when the pandemic shut down all venues and Julian Smith Productions, another affiliate of Julian Smith Sax, decided to promote an online concert series to keep in touch with fans. Julian, always a pillar of the community, also held an online concert series showcasing the talents of young people wanting to learn how to succeed in the entertainment industry, the proceeds going to healthcare services.

Sometime later during the shutdown came the idea of The Sax Shop. The idea surfaced during a brief collaboration with a Taiwan saxophone manufacturer, to produce a saxophone with Julian's signature engraved on it. The signature  commemorates his participation on Britain's Got Talent Season 3. This saxophone line is not currently advertised, however it is available through direct communication with Julian Smith via special order. Julian always backs what he endorses, and he has a collection of the Taiwanese instruments he uses during performances. These instruments can be easily identified by the beautiful rose aura that emanates from the bell of each instrument when you look directly at him. His favorite is the alto saxophone, he claims it has a bigger sound than any comparable instrument.

Julian has always had a passion for vintage instruments. Occasionally he will part with an instrument, and as of late he has been adding to his own collection. He enjoys the research associated with learning about each instrument, and following the known history. His target audience for purchasing high end vintage instruments or pre-owned instruments is not the online reseller Julian seeks out the person that has a dusty case in their closet containing that hidden treasure.

Sometimes the treasure associated with researching an instrument is the usually well-documented history of the instrument's origins.  Often times the heartwarming story that surrounds how the current owner comes to be in possession of an instrument makes the project worth the effort. 

To continue this pursuit with passion, Julian  and company have  opened this online store to balance his hobby with his profession and the affection he has for his fans by offering vintage and pre-owned instruments, along with a selection of accessories for everyone from the beginner to the professional musician.

Julian's wife, being the corporate executive officer, said just dealing in saxophones and music gear is not enough. She has arranged to  offer consumers more. Using the latest technologies, Julian's wife has put together a collection of merchandise, including apparel inspired by what Julian has in his own closet, logo apparel, and the hottest deals on the internet, which can change from minute to minute.

We welcome you to visit The Sax Shop, an institution committed to exceptional customer service, and run in the finest British tradition.
