A sax repairer I've used in the past recently set up an ancient SML with rolled tone holes with ring pads he hand-makes. The ring fits snug against the edge of...
I have the same pads on an original Leblanc System, in very good condition. How tricky would it be to replicate these pads as new do you think? ... ...
the problem would be getting the backs made....it's of course quite possible if you want to throw enough money at the problem OUR NEW ONLINE STORE IS NOW OPEN ...
well, first you have to get the rings of the proper size.... That being said, I think a perimeter ring is a very good idea. The tighter the leather, the...
We did a "reskin" on a set of these not long ago. They came out great. It was not cheap but the pads looked great. We used the White kangaroo skin to maintain...
Thanks guys! It will be on the site in about a week or so. I've been traveling at the NAPBIRT convention and am currently in Arizona working with Precision Pad...
OK.....I guess I need new glasses! I have a horn(a Bundy tenor) on the bench, and it seems to have a bent body. I've tried everything, but can't seem to find...
I hate to say this.. but ... I'll bet there is an old King tenor floating around in the school system with a Bundy neck. I am sorry, I just couldn't help...
I'm sure of it...and I KNOW which school!!!!!! there's only 1 that ever had any of those models in their inventory!! I used to teach there! Tom ... ...
place the horn on the floor with the bow down and look straight into the bore. You can buy a replacement neck from Allied. As a matter of fact, I've got a...
You send me a check and tell me where you want me to send it. If you want me to lacquer it, let me know. It's FUNCTIONALLY in fine shape, but is VERY ugly at...
Take all the keys of the right and left hand stacks off; then lay a long straight-edge on top of the tone holes. This should reveal any low spots along this...

I bought a nickel plated MK 6 recently, late model. Although in 100% original condition, it's going to need a proper overhaul. Are there any quirks I need to...
I know that it's radical, but has anyone ever filed off the RTHs from a horn? I had a guy with the soldered rings ask me to take them off, but when I told him...
I don't know why you would want to remove them. They don't do anything acoustically, so leaving them won't hurt anything. Removing them would require a lot of...

I certainly don't claim to have seen it all, but I've NEVER seen an original nickel plated VI. Gold, silver, lacquer, yes. Nickel, no. Anyone else seen one...
Well it's certainly original plating. There is a fair bit of engraving, and this together with the serial number looks razor sharp. The finish is perfect, but...
I've owned HUNDREDS of Mk VI horns over the years, and I assure you I could never absolutely tell if plating was original from photographs. Has ANYONE else...
