Unlocking your
full potential isn’t easy.Unless you have a key.

Every musician arrives at a point where they get stuck and cannot go any further musically. Even for music students and professionals, playing and practicing is not always a pleasure. It is frustrating when you reach your musical limits and cannot play as you would like to. This simply should not be.

What would be musically possible if you could exceed your own expectations and overcome boundaries? With SaxMax, we not only bring fun and a sense of achievement back into playing, but also help musicians extract their full potential—both from themselves and their saxophone.

It’s not easy to play freely

The saxophone is not ergonomic, which restricts the playing style on this wonderful instrument. No musician can play their sax completely freely. A strap is of little help.

A hand symbolizing dexterity

Limited finger skill

When playing with a strap, you push your sax “thumb hook” with your right thumb. The force required strains arm muscles and finger joints, limiting your dexterity.

A cloud symbolizing mental blockades

Blockades and frustration

As a musician, you want to refine your technique. As a student, you want to master your favorite songs, but at some point, you get stuck. It’s frustrating.

Your only limit is your head.Not your fingers.

Good news! You are not alone in this. Your struggle with your instrument and your doubts are real. Coltrane has experienced it. Charlie Parker, Lisa Simpson, Jimi Hendrix, and even Beethoven. Every musician at some point reached the moment where they could not express their full talent because their instrument itself was obstructing the way.

They all faced this challenge. They all failed to make progress. They all wanted to break through this impenetrable musical wall in order to be completely free.

This is a well-known and widespread problem. It’s just that no one has wanted or been able to solve it so far. However, there is a solution to every problem out there. The SaxMax is the solution to your problem, and it’s super easy to put into practice. Music experimenters, music students, hobby musicians, music teachers, or professional musicians—we want to give inspiration and tools to musicians for overcoming the boundaries.

Music has no boundaries. Never. Nowhere.Read more…

Hey Joe, what's goin' on? You can't get no satisfaction?

You try and you try and you try? Don’t paint it so black. Imagine there's no limit. What a wonderful world this could be? It’s easy if you try. With a little help from a friend of course. We can work it out. Vienna calling. Come as you are. A change is gonna come. Let’s break on through to the other side.

Play your sax in the city. Under the board walk, on the dock of the bay or over the rainbow. Hey Babe – take a walk on the wild side if you want. You can’t always get what you want? Maybe, but now you can play what you want. Everything is possible when you can play the unplayable. The best is yet to come. What'd I say? We can work it out. It’s easy if you try. You don’t have to be the sultan of swing to play a Bohemian Rhapsody. Start me up and I swear with every breathe you take – Hallelujah – you’ll feel the good vibrations. Yeah, now you really got me.
