Tipboek Saxofoon as a practical saxophone book
If you are looking for a saxophone book that goes beyond the basics, The Tipbook Company Tipboek Saxofoon offers an accessible and clearly written guide. This Dutch-language book helps you hear, feel and see the difference between a 500-euro saxophone and a 5,000-euro one, so you can compare options more confidently within your budget.
The content was written in collaboration with saxophonists, repairers, teachers and other specialists. That makes Tipboek Saxofoon suitable for both beginners and experienced players who want to know more about their instrument and what to look for when buying or using one.
From reeds and mouthpieces to maintenance
Alongside information about the instrument itself, The Tipbook Company gives plenty of attention to reeds, mouthpieces and necks. You get buying, testing and listening tips, plus a separate section on reed adjustment, which makes this saxophone book especially useful if you want to refine your setup.
Tuning, maintenance, the history of the saxophone, the different instruments in the family, production and makers are also covered. At Magna Music, that connects well with the advice in the store and the knowledge in the in-house workshop, especially if you want to understand not just how to play, but also how your instrument works.
Extra support in daily use
At the back of Tipboek Saxofoon you will find thirty pages of fingering charts compiled by saxophone expert Leo van Oostrom. That makes this saxophone book not only informative to read, but also practical to keep close during lessons, study sessions or practice at home.
With ISBN 9789087670030, a Dutch edition from The Tipbook Company and 234 pages, this is an extensive guide for anyone who wants a better grip on choosing, using and maintaining the saxophone.
