at a local music store, they display their saxophones on a wall. they have some sort of wall mount thing going on. i have searched google and ebay for saxophone wall mounts, but i can't find anything. i'm looking to hang up my two alto saxophones. my question is... have any of you ever seen a saxophone wall mount and where could i buy them?
MFS answered Thursday May 18 2006, 9:24 pm: the wall mount fixtures are usually used only in stores for display purposes - I don't recall any of the saxophonists I know having wall mounts - a bunch of us do have the floor mount stands - in fact, I have the one that holds a sax and flute at the same time, very handy when swapping back and forth.
Honestly, when you have your sax out all the time, it tends to tarnish faster, and collects a LOT of dust - wall mounts, while they may seem pretty and shows off the instrument - it adds a ton of cleaning, it really increases the amount of upkeep to maintain your sax in excellent condition.
