Steve That sounds good, but what about the bow brace, that is a heavy gauge brass, won't that cause problems in terms of flexing. Also, could you recommend...

So how would you all handle a dented, out of round tone hole. I understand filing but in this case the hole is out of round. What tool would you use to round...
If it's dented, you have to FIRST raise it to the level of the body tube! Under NO circumstances should you level it before doing this!!! I've got assorted...
Hi Steve, Your information is most helpful. But could I ask you to be more specific. I have the Ferree's catalog an have found any expanders other that the...
If you've got a 40MM tone hole, your going to have to do it by hand. I use orthodontists tools for this sort of thing. It takes a while, and it's difficult...

My son is using a Selmer C*. The same mouthpiece has been a good starting point on the alto and the tenor. We're open to suggestions here. I'm relieved to hear...
