I think that if you will try using a cork bumper instead of felt you will like the feel better. It's a little more firm. I haven't tried talc, but do use...
If it is an issue of the tenon being tweaked or too tight to slide off, then try the following: Place the body on a flute body mandrel with the foot hanging...
Take it to a tech. Do not try this at home. Lots of possibliities and reasons it's stuck, and one wrong move or turn and you could really mess the flute up....
Hello All. I am going to replace some pads in a vintage Kohlert tenor with Roo pads with the dome metal resos.The current pads are plain leather ( and they...
I was wondering if anyone has had any expierence with vintage curved sopranos? I have had a number of modern ones that played great as far as intonation.Are...
I was unscrewing this long hinge rod, and the screwdriver slot - - already somewhat widened from past abuse - - just gave up and broke apart. Then I noticed...
I have a vintage 1916 Conn curved sop which plays very nicely in tune. (It's keyed to high F) It has a whole lot of tuning crescents, and I had to glue a...
I wish I was close.Would love to come by.Looks like you had to modify horn for it to play in tune properly.Would the Bueschers and Martins need crescents and...
Most often the screwdriver slot is damaged by using a screwdriver which does not fit the slot perfectly in terms of length and width, and being over-zealous or...
Resonators... I have a SML Super 46 tenor that had pads with the very small flat resonators that covered only about half of the leather. As an experiment I...
Our saxophone ensemble was given an Elkhart* (Buescher stencil) curved soprano, I think c.1928 from Goodson's charts. This Elkhart is the same as the Buescher...
I totally concur with you about the tone needing to be resonant.That is why I am going to replace the pads even though they are like new.I didn`t think about...
"So.... how does one go about shredding, mangling, and widening the slot on a hinge rod? I pound on these things pretty hard and I've not been able to do it......
I don't know about the Martins, but not the Bueschers. Paul Coats John Hill <marge2sons@...> wrote: I wish I was close.Would love to come by.Looks like...
Buescher curvys keyed to high F are harder to find then the E falt ones.Do the E flat Bueschers sound and play as well as their High F brothers? Regards "Paul...
I have a curved Lyon and Healy low pitch that is smooth playing and easy to control. I put a matte silver finish to add some metal to the horn and rivet pads...
I have found that the vast majority of vintage curved sopranos make most excellent lamps. You can insert the power cord through the low Eb tone hole, and put a...
Interesting.I have been playing a Yani bronze that will blow out the windows if pushed.It is a grand horn but definately not described as vintage sounding....
I have to agree with Steve here. We used our Buescher soprano with a set of vintage Bueschers for a Six Brown Brothers concert, playing vintage music on the...
I do have to agree that this Orpheus curved soprano is superior to the Yanagisawa, or my Yana style Antigua curved soprano. The left hand pinky table is like...
A properly designed curved soprano will sound the same to the audience. The acoustic mistake made by many designers is that the bore diameter and taper must be...
On Selmer-Style lower stacks, I use a piece of kraus synth cork on the body in place of a felt, and then use tech cork on the key foot. Russ ... including ... ...
You guys brought back memories of a curved soprano that I had stolen after a gig when I when I left it unattended to get my car back in the 70's.. What was...
I saw a chrome plated Beaugnier tenor once. Weird looking thing especially when the little bits peel and it starts to look like the bumper on a 1965 Chevy...
