I am sorry, but I do not have any extra keys for that horn. Keep looking with other saxophone dealers on the web. Maybe someone will have what you need. Let...

Ferree Tool has some (but not all) Mk VI keys in inventory. ... From: Timothy A. Glesmann [mailto:saxalley@...] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:46 AM To:...
Selmer dumped all of their old Mk VI stuff. To quote one of the Selmer reps at a trade show, "We don't worry about Yamaha, Keilwerth, Yanagisawa... our worst...
Thanks, I keep hoping I will find a trashed horn on ebay. One that was in someones trunk and got rearend, not that I would wish that on anyone, but sH#%^t...
On a 192,000 Buescher tenor, four equal sized holes on the neck pip. The body pip is "normal" in configuration. COMING SOON! OUR NEW ONLINE STORE AT...
Ever seen an octave pip like this?I've seen this on a few Bueschers Tenors. The design is supposed to lesson the "Hiss" Curt Altarac www.MusicMedic.com ...
[ gloomily, as I look at a horn somebody has worked on ] What is your expectation about the seal between a pad and a tone hole? I thought it should be: The...
Your expectations are not too high. It's difficult, but possible, to achieve a gravity seal. Anything else is a less than perfect job. ... From: morgan...
I agree with you, that the seating of the pad should be as perfect as possible, with the same precision as would be used in a flute or clarinet repair. I often...
... Yes, and this can be done. Sometimes it is easier than others, but this is the goal. ... No, and the player cannot play fluidly, quickly, if he is having...
Simple wetting and clamping is never enough. If clamping will form a seat, it can as easily unform when the pad remains off the tone hole with the horn...
Morgan, just like it has often been said: "the saxophone is easy to play ...poorly", we can say "the saxophone is easy to repair...poorly" and certainly...
I've recently bought a dent machine. How about some saxophone specific pointers, particularly from Jeff Peterson, whose work I have seen and is fabulous.. ...
If this work was done locally I'd just carry the horn back in and say "LOOK AT DEM LEAKZ!" Long distance - - that's more clumsy, slow, expensive, and...
Well, since I know Morgan, I want to assure the group that (1) he's not crazy; (2) he's a fine player; (3) he is more than a little conversant with repair; and...
Hey Steve, thanks for the kind words. There's just a few basics that come to mind and after that, time on the machine will give the tech the "feel" for what...
Hello All, What is your adjustment procedure for the F#-F, E D bridge key. For me this is the most sensitive/tricky adjustment on the horn. It takes me the...
By far, this is the most difficult part adjusting the saxophone. Each key needs to have its pad properly seated separately before even starting. Not only does...
Yes, this is a touchy area. 1) First of all, the better the key fit (not just lack of end play, but hinge tube to hinge rod fit, and hinge rod to post fit),...

Thanks, There are two sets of cork, one that regulates the key height, and the thinner cork that regulates the relationship of the keys to the F# key. I find...
Hey Guys, Do you think we could start a database of Sax-brands and types eras with keys and pad sizes in mm and inches. I would suggest we start with Selmers...
... I see this as beneficial in two cases: 1. A customer requests (or a horn requires) a type of pad that a tech does not stock. It would be nice to be able...
Excellent, I will dig out the ones I have. But we should also be aware, the various pad manufacturers have also done this, and there are still variations in...
Steve, I think that if you anchor the tool near a post, you will find it difficult to bend a hinge rod. I use that tool all day long without bending hinge...
