Thanks Rufus & Lars Rufus: It sounds like you are doing this in a similar fashion to me. I check the back of the file & sometimes wipe it to clean off dirt so...
Hi Lars ... How do you keep the file level? I am holding the disc against the hole with my left hand & turning it with the Allen key in my right hand. I only...
Hi everyone, I write from Italy. Some days ago I sent a Selmer Mark VII to the buyer in France. The horn was very good packed, but the buyer received the horn...
It's almost sure the tone holes were unlevel from the factory. If it's only a year old, I'd say it's definitely the reason. It's common that the short wall...
Barry, Â I will give that a try when I hit the practice den in the morning, and will let you know what I come up with. Thank you for letting me know. I might...
Hi clarnibass ... Yes: I have seen this when attempting to level the cups. The rims are definitely not all the same height all the way around some of the cups...
Hey Everett et al, Some flute manufacturers routinely use larger washers (esp. on the lower section); Yamaha for example is one of them. My personal feeling is...
Lars, Eric, Jan, et. al.; I use a set of discs cut from round stock steel ranginging from 2.5 inches to 11/16 inch to check for tone hole flatness. The...

Hi all, Undoubtedly, the larger the washer the better, acoustically speaking. There is a significant amount of viscous and thermal loss at the pads, both...
... think that in my case the difference in height round the rim is not too great (of course I don't really know). Also: what do you use for this (in case I...
... If you are playing flat, wouldn't you want to push the mouthpiece further on? If so, why do you want to extend the neck? Maybe I'm missing something...
Sorry, I meant to say sharp! Anyway, neck extension complete. I used low temperature silver solder and it's solid as a rock. And now my mouthpiece is nice and...
Hey,      Just recently took a trip to Dinant, Belgium,  to visit the Adolphe Sax museum only to get there and find out it was closed for good. ...
Gentlemen, I have a broken bright nickle plated lever to repair and I think it should be silver brazed for adequite strength. Someone has soldered it together...
