... Hi Steve, this is a great idea! This thread hasn't been going anywhere, so maybe I could jumpstart it a little ... One of my favorite tools is the Ferrees...
Hi all, I stopped using Denatured years ago and have been using 91% Isopropyl. I just recently got a job in a new shop with no isopropyl and started using...
I'd like to accumulate a data base of sites that have either repair discussion or are informative about saxophone repair. What are your favorites? OUR NEW...
... I've had ... airbrush. Go ... Thanks Steve, I didn't have time to get an airbrush, but I found a can of Ace hardware brand Black Lacquer (glossy finish)...
I'm getting ready to repad a keeper tenor; resonators are a must. What is the perceived advantage of the Noyek design on response and tone? How does that...
There's no "perceived" advantage if you ever took a course in geometry: the Noyek style has a larger surface area. Larger surface area = greater reflection =...
I've played a number of saxes that Goodson has overhauled with Noyeks. They are not overly bright as many claim. They are very resonant. This resonance make...
It's been my experience that those who claim excessive brightness are playing ALUMINUM (not brass) Noyeks, or simply have not actually played a horn with...
Thanks for a concise answer; I apologize if the word "perceived" seemed inflammatory- I use it only in its' denotative sense: reality comes at us via the five...
Maybe a dumb question, but.... Would it be appropriate to say that the 'shape' itself of the Noyeks don't really do anything for the sound... but, the unusual...
I repadded a bass clarinet recently with kangaroo leather pads and Noyeks. I also built a baffle for the mouthpiece. It would peel paint at thirty paces! The...
Thanks Steve! I'll definitely have to consider the kangaroo pads/Noyek resonators... I've got both a Tenor Sax and a Bass Clarinet that I will likely re-pad ...
we get some of our best questions from newbie's! Anything that sparks discussion and the sharing of ideas and techniques is a good thing, IMHO. _____ From:...
Dear Steve, First off - the question I'm about to ask is going to be a bit off-topic for this forum -- I would like to apologize beforehand.... You mentioned...

the bass clarinet job was for New York City jazz player Rob Wagner, who is a pretty serious jazzer and wanted a lot of "cut" in his sound. Remember, resonators...
Thanks for the warning and advice. I'll consider the Kangaroo Pads, but I'll leave the Noyeks alone... for now. The Bass Clarinet will be used for both...
Not to change the subject,but what is the best lubricant for pivot screws? I use Steve`s lub from Sax Gourmet.Is there a thicher lube or is this sufficient?...
By the way - - what about if your bass clarinet is competing with electric instruments? I tried to mic mine and it was a miserable failure. It seemed like I'd...
Well - What I do is this -- it really depends on the kind of music involved and just how loud the band is going to be. In quieter settings, or if we have the...
Don't be confused by the fact that a horn properly set-up with resonators also plays louder. You've got more reflective surface to get your tone out of the ...

This statement is simply not correct. Sound is not "reflected" off the so-called "tone boosters". The tone boosters only provide a surface which imposes less...
