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.

    • I wonder if anyone can help.  My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid.  It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if they are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area- perhaps other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet.  Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible.  I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.  
    • I inherited an electric awning.  It's fab in this extreme weather in my south facing garden. Canvas now decrepit and needs replacing.  Over stretched. Anyone done this - know of anyone who can do this? Advice much appreciated. K.
    • I think that presumption's a false one and that there's no such requirement.  If in doubt try asking 'Who can make a planning application?'   So it's firm evidence at most of just their belief that they might be  setting up shop there.  Putting in an early anticipatory application for their display signage, to lessen any dead time waiting for the permission, might well be a worthwhile expense.  They don't seem to have withdrawn the application, so are at least presumably still interested in taking over the premises.
    • We had Bunny Bowket who smelt, but in our sixth form field trip turned into a nice father type.  But that wasn't Peckham Manor.  Here's a nice link https://www.peckhamsociety.org.uk/?p=279
