About Sax Alley
Sax Alley is professional saxophone repair and sales that caters to the needs of the serious and professional saxophonist. This does not, however, imply that we are not interested in the needs of the young and beginning saxophonist which we serve with equal energy and commitment.

The Mission of Sax Alley is…
- to be a business that has a high ethical and moral standard grounded in the owner’s faith in God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
- to become the most respected saxophone repair service and sales in the Rocky Mountain Region and beyond.
- to provide a level of quality service that becomes the standard by which all other saxophone repair in this region is judged.
- to facilitate a reasonable turn-around time that respects the musician’s need for the instrument but does not sacrifice the quality of the service provided. Special emphasis will be placed on the immediate need of the professional musician.
- to provide a service for locating and buying “Vintage” saxophones for clients.
- to use this business, whenever possible, to further the Kingdom of God by sharing the “Good News” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Manager of Sax Alley
Timothy A. Glesmann owns and operates Sax Alley. Timothy has a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Hastings College and Master’s Degree in Saxophone Performance from the University of Northern Colorado where he studied with Roger Greenberg, former Saxophone Professor of UNC, and played with the #1 Jazz Ensemble. His trade in saxophone repair was learned through an apprenticeship in Colorado, and further study with a highly respected saxophone repairman.
“This business is truly owned by Jesus Christ and my goal is to let Him live and work through me so that His light will shine brightly in an ever darkening world. The two verses that would best characterize myself are 1 Thessalonnians 4:11-12 ‘Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.’ and 1 Corinthians 10:31 ‘. . . whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.'”
