How can I make a very very good tip rail on rubber MPC's? I developed some rudimental technique (fine waterproof sand paper on a narrow wood stick) but some...
Hi! ... Sorry, I have no idea. I know a company which is doing laser engravings. I brought them my layout and couple of glass plates and they adjusted their ...
I posted another photo spread in my Yahoo Photos and made it available for public access. I do not have a link to it from my personal site yet. I still need...
If you ever see mini-M&M's in the small plastic tubes, the tubes are perfect for holding a soprano mpc (no lig, cap...). Might even work for some metal alto...
You need some very small files. I find the round tapered ones work well on defining the tip rail. Read message 3014. Paul Coats answered this very well for...

I might suggest "fingering" a strong magnet after work, to remove fine Fe dust. On acquiring an old Selmer tenor sax, it had a good-appearing Otto Link [HR?]...
Keith, I just looked at the HR Link refacing pics. Thanks for posting them - very informative. A question about chamber/baffle characteristics and tone...
... Link ... chops !! . I'd ... selling it off ... It depends on what you want to do and your tolerance for risk. Do you want to risk ruining this piece in...
If this is your first experience with refacing, I would strongly recommend starting out on something less valuable. I hacked up a few Yamaha 4Cs that my...
Since you have several of the, you might want to try side scooping on one and a baffle relief on another. You'll need a lot of side scooping to hear a...

Thanks Keith for your nice movie and good advices. I would like to have a better glass gauge as the one you showed in the pictures. Where I can find one Erick...
