My teenage son is keen to learn the sax but I don't want to buy an instrument until we see how he gets on - can anyone recommend somewhere I could hire one please? Or if someone has one that their child has cast off - perhaps I could have a long loan and we'd pay you instead?


Thank you!

Not the best selections of saxes but... https://www.howarth.uk.com/rental.aspx


Do not be fooled by thinking they're just a double reed (oboe/bassoon etc) special ist, they have a big section devoting to saxes too. I've not used Howarth's for rental and have not been in a while but they offer great advise and customer service to those in the know and complete novices.

Also ask at South London Music in Grove Vale (www.slmusic.co.uk). They deal with lots of kids from the Saturday music school at Goose Green and I'm sure they do instrument rental.


Failing that, for specialists, I'd second Howarth's. I've bought a couple of saxes there and always had good service despite being fairly amateur.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
