I have an old baritone sax mpc, marked "Ideal" that sounds very good, but is so narrow (about .072) that it's basically useless. I'd like to open it up to...
My 2 cents: you can certainly open it up that much, but you are definitely going to change the sound and reponse because in effect you will be raising the...
Toby mentions the most common way of approaching opening a tip. In this method, you use the existing table and you rework the tip open and reshape the baffle...

ciao a tutti I have a tenor mpc (new Otto Link tone edge 6) with a tip rail not well defined: it has not the some thickness and it is not flat( it have some...
On softer materials, I use a small, curved pocket knife blade to scrape away some material next to the tip rail to define its shape. You can then use very...
