What is the best way to attach those black riser to the palm keys. I have tried the pad & cork cement and also super glue, but neither seem to last. Terry...
I used to use e6000 but after some failures I am now using automotive weatherstripping glue (thanks Steve). It's a tarry yellow stuff you use like a contact...
If you're going to use the black rubber risers, use E6000 glue (I get it in the craft department at Wal-Mart) and be sure to tie the riser tightly to the key...
I have also made risers for Low Bb and Low C keys from 1/4" Plexiglass. I grind them to a wedge shape, the cut the wedge to the shape of the key. Sand and...
Roo pads are pretty rare in the UK so i wanted to try them out. I'm wondering if the pad thickness is ok and which resonators would be the best choice for my...
curts pads are really unparalleled. as for resonator choice, flat metal discs would be true to the conn legacy...I would suggest nickel plated brass as ...

A relatively simple task; you must have brazing equipment and skills, however. - Lars ... From: Alan To: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January...
I am getting ready to overhaul a SML tenor that I recently bought. Does anyone have any suggestions as to pad selection? I would also be interested in some...
Thanks Lars, I thought it would be either brazing or soldering. I work in a metal shop and though I am more into forming we have people that weld/braze so I...
Beware when playing with a high dollar neck like that. If you overheat it, you will loosen the solder that holds the pivot of the octave arm and the pip will...
I would suggest Roo pads from www.musicmedic.com . The SML's are quite dark in tone, mine are, as are the others I have played. Order your pads without...
Thanks for the suggestion... any thoughts on the plating? it is lacquer right now and is not horrible for the age of the horn. I've read and heard mixed...
The plating, lacquer or epoxy will NOT affect your tone in any way. Sorry Mark, the idea that saxophone's finish will affect the tone is simply a myth...
Plating changes the sound marginally. It is mostly a cosmetic thing. Silver plate will last a lot longer than lacquer. I would probably just leave the horn in...
