Yay . I assume you made it out of the shop safely too then . Are you managing to resist playing it to talk to us ? Which one did you go for in the end ?

I got a Selmer Super Action 80 Mk II. Non engraved one, I liked the black one but the response wasn't as good. I'll play it later or tomorrow, too tired now .

Just over 4 hours to get there - no traffic, and longer on the way back because we stopped for petrol, stopped for food at a pub and traffic was worse. We left here at 6am ish and got back aobut 6pm ish.

Yeah I know . It's really nice yeh, they have tons of saxes, looooads of reeds and mouthpieces and accessories on the shelves etc. They were really really helpful with letting me try them, one of the guys talked to me and then gave me a room and gave me saxes to try etc and let me get on with it. I never felt pressured to hurry up or buy one etc. Selmers don't come with cases which was worrying me, but they gave me a free case!! Part of a deal that ended in December but I am not complaining! It's a bit smaller than I first thought, but it doesn't need to be any bigger, it has everything you need!
