I tend to agree with Toby. Although it is true that the shape and material of an open pipe can certainly effect it's sound (organ pipes being a prime...

When you say it in terms of the air volume within the horn then it does make sense to me that the material is very secondary to the quality of the sound. I ...
Two points: 1. Sounding "different" does not necessarily equal sounding "worse". 2. I wonder what the original manufacturing tolerance of the "classic" horns...
To the very best of my knowledge, nobody today (or in the past) has ever considered the amount of metal removed in buffing prior to initial finishing during...
"Sounding 'different does not necessarily equal sounding 'worse'." Nor does it equal sounding better. There are so many more components to a player's sound...
Steve, players often remark how their instrument sounds different after an overhaul. Of course! All new pads, perhaps different resonators. The pad heights...

I often have the opportunity to play multiple examples (we get shipments that often exceed 150 pieces) of the same horns, built during the same production run,...
(1) clean the top of the tone hole with 1500 grit emery paper. Then clean it again. (2) Clean the pad using saddle soap. Do not use lighter fluid, alcohol,...

I think you can rub furniture polish on the pads with a cotton swab to keep them moist. ... From: Ken Fink To: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
Most furniture polishes have a component that ultimately breaks down the leather, shortening pad life. Not a good thing. If you want to treat dried out pads,...
