Oooh, easy question for me to answer but hard to defend. I do not recommend key clamps of any make to my customers for no good reason other than to keep things...
I haven't used key clamps myself but I know people who use them. My experience is that saxophones in good condition and adjustment will not benefit from...
I'm wondering about the Ferree's neck driver - from the pics on their website, I think you can only put a dent ball on the end section of cable (I'm assuming,...
the neck driver works by providing a support under the offending dent that enables you to burnish it out. It won't raise the dent from the underside. _____ ...
I've been using key clamps for years. My horn plays very consistently all the time. I don't find that it helps when I do have a minor leak, but it does seem to...
I just recently removed by thumb rest from my Mark VI to allow a change in postion of my fingers of my right hand and correspondingly my right thumb. This...

I have a 1936 Conn 10M tenor with a bizarre problem. Intonation in the lower octave is fine. From about G above the staff and up, it runs sharp, as much as...
I find that anything glued with E6000 is likely to fall off in a year. Also, once you open the tube, the glue starts to lose quality and you only have a few...
I sat down with the head repair tech in our shop today to work on my issues (I work mostly on clarinets when I am not doing school service duties). We...

As per Steve's recommendation, I'm working with the E6000 as I glue the Buescher metal backs onto sax gourmet pads..but I'm wondering if it would also be...

Acetone will usually remove most silicone based pad treatments. HOWEVER, after you use the acetone, you must use something to nourish the pads and keep them...
