“Remy Veerman, well-known dutch saxophone repairman has developed and brought to the market a line of incredible saxophones, I had the fortune to review his tenor saxophone today The Remy. Incredible horn, even in all registers, great intonation. Very ergonomic key lay. Your hands will fit like a glove, no matter what instrument you currently play. I highly recommend this horn.”
Kurt Ramm
“My new friend Remy Veerman made time in his day to help me out with a repair to my favorite Schilke S-32 horn. Remy is a builder of his own line of fine saxophones here in Amsterdam! Thank you Remy!!!”
Ivan Baryshnikov
“The new soprano saxophone by Remy Saxophones seems the best soprano I ever played in my life. It helps to deliver rich sound in any range and dynamics. It is easy to control the sound, intonation and play any passage with the smoothly moving mechanics.”

“Je gaat alleen langs voor een check-up van je huidige sax en terwijl ik wacht op de vakman die m'n sax in orde maakt, besloot ik toch even z'n nieuwe creatie uit te proberen; de Remy saxofoon. Ik had al het eerdere prototype bespeeld, maar bleef trouw aan m'n huidige sax. Totdat ik deze sax in handen kreeg. Afgesteld voor Maceo Parker om uit te proberen op North Sea Jazz. Door het missen van z'n gig, niet in zijn handen geweest. Door toeval in mijn handen. En dan speel je, en dan hoor je in de kamer naast je kreten van verwondering en extase. Nog nooit zo'n vol geluid gehoord!....De sax heeft gekozen. Geheel onverwacht en platzak, met een geweldig instrument de vakantie in!”
Ivan Baryshnikov
“I was lucky to meet Remy and give him my horn for full restoration. I picked up my instrument in brand new condition: no clicking, easy to blow, amazing sound! Also, Remy paid attention to some details which I never mind before. Many thanks for such a high quality work.”
Junior van Rijn
“Wow Remy, m'n ouwe trouwe Conn had een smak gemaakt en was nogal beschadigd. Nu speelt ie weer als nieuw, of eigenlijk nog beter. Dankjewel voor je top-revisie!”
Menno Hoekstra
“Mijn octaaf mechanisme is weer helemaal klaar met dank aan Remy Veerman, ik kan weer volop spelen en weer lekker naar les. Ik mocht ook nog op een Remy sax spelen wat een geweldig instrument!! Een mooie ronde klank en je kan er super zacht op spelen.”
Danny Strynck
“Wat een vriendelijke man...Hij maakt tijd uw saxofoon af te stellen naar uw wensen. Onlangs repareerde hij mijn baritonsax yanigisawa B9930 en mijn alt WO35. Hij maakte ze lekvrij stelde sleutels bij en regelde de toonafstanden af. Super...! Wat een service! Heb ook op zijn Remy sax alt en tenor mogen spelen. Wat een mooie klankkleur! Mooi warme ronde toon...Kon het niet laten en ben de trotse eigenaar van een Remy tenorsax geworden. Wat een plezier om op te spelen.”
Anita van den Hoven
“[:nl]Net m'n saxen opgehaald, ze waren toe aan een revisie (niet allemaal gelukkig, twee van de drie konden het af met grondig onderhoud). En als je dan na twee maanden 'eindelijk weer mag'... is het alsof je het gaspedaal even extra hard mag intrappen om vervolgens keihard uit de bocht te vliegen. Dat zegt genoeg toch? Verdere superlatieven schieten te kort, sorry buren, maar met veel dank aan Remy Veerman.[:]”

“[:nl]It has not been since Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone that I have felt someone has brought this instrument to an essence…Remy Saxophones presented me with a tonal spectrum befitting my inexhaustible desire to continue to explore the road less travelled. Its unique qualities could have only been crafted by the hands of a designer with a heart set on a mission to transcend the limits imposed only by commercial pursuits. Bravo! – Wayne [:en]It has not been since Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone that I have felt someone has brought this instrument to an essence…Remy Saxophones presented me with a tonal spectrum befitting my inexhaustible desire to continue to explore the road less travelled.

“I'm a professional saxophone player and had the privilege of traveling around the world playing music. I lived in New York, Boston and Tel Aviv and no one ever did a job on my saxophone as you. The level of craftsmanship, fineness, precision and the quality of materials that you are using - all make the overhaul you did on my saxophone a perfect one!
You are a one of a kind and I will surely recommend anyone seeking the highest level of work to go visit you. All the best, Your new loyal costumer Matan Chapnizky

Special shout-out to Remy Veerman from Charlie's Muziek! Yesterday he found time for a last minute repair of my alto sax (Yanagisawa A991)!. Thanks to him i can play tonight and tomorrow with perfectly closing pads again...

“Best repairman in Europe!”
Joao Driessen

As you are aware, I am very suspicious when it comes to making changes to my beloved Mark IV Selmer Tenor Saxophone.

Over the last year I have visited your shop on a regular basis and have been absolutely enthralled by your dedication and spirit for the saxophone. Your endeavours towards even greater craftsmanship have really paid off.

The last revision to your hand made saxophone pads and other techniques you have employed to improve the response and tone of my horn have  blown me away. Since leaving your shop dumbstruck last week, I have been playing to my hearts content.

I can’t thank you enough for the work you have done in getting me closer to my dream sound. You have inspired me to work harder and I only hope I can live up to the saxophone I now carry around with me.

Eternally grateful for your work and hope many more saxophone players get the chance to work with you.

Can’t wait to visit again and see what you’re up to next at the workbench
