I am aware that bubbling on low notes can be a pain , and also can be difficult to resolve, as the cause can be manyfold. I am busy repadding an old Dearman...
The low B gurgle is a complex problem, but the explanation can be simplified. The bottom bow of a saxophone acts (acoustically) as a bulge in the bore....
Thanks for your reply Saxtek. This is really interesting stuff. I had really bad bubbling on low Bb on a Yanigasawa Alto, and because I couldn't solve the...
This is true, but the issue is easily resolved with a slight contraction in bow diameter, as evidenced by all the horns that play the bell notes without a...
If you like math a lot you might try "Acoustical Aspects of Woodwind Instruments" by C.J. Nederveen. Toneholes introduce extra compliance into the bore which...
You might want to try dropping wax into the bottom of the bow to reduce the diameter--its more permanent than a cork. The physics of the air column are...
I don't know the physics of the low/middle D & Eb octave problems. certainly the location of the octave vent has an important influence. Consider this,...
Oh yeah, I forgot! We were solving that low B gurgle. Different solutions have been served up here before. On saxes with low C, C#, B, & Bb that tend to be...
George Jameson (inventor of George's glue) once told me that when a customer brought him a saxophone with a gurgling low B, his standard answer was, "The best...
While on the Gurgling lob B problem,Saxtel2003 mentioned George Jameson. Was he the guy from Racine, WI ? I played in a band with him for years and if the...
It makes sense to finger middle D using the palm D instead of the octave vent. If you try it on your own horn you will find that the D is much clearer and...
... be ... Peter, I had a similar problem of bubbling on low notes, but mainly on Bb. It was solved by replacing the spring of the Eb-key by more powerful one....
I assume that you have checked for leaks, for example the G# key could be out of regulation. Or the low B key arm could be interfering with the C# regulation....
A big thankyou to all who have sent their ideas concerning this problem. I shall be going over the horn again from top to bottom, checking all pads, spring...
... Steve, thanks for your reply and I look foreward to any information you might have to offer about those Selmer reuseable resonators, the price for sets,...

Thanks, I looked at JL Smiths, I don't seem to be able to locate. You wouldn't know the part number. Thanks for the help Steve Costenbader Peabody Woodwinds...
Hey Guys, I'm repadding a selmer signet 100 clarinet. The clarinet is wood, but the tone holes/chimneys look to be plastic/resonite. Looks like they are...
They are probably delrin inserts. Conn did this on their 16 and 17N's back in the 60's. The manufacturing costs are substantially less, with and no loss of...
