what brand harness? I have one, but I think I could have a better one... ... Conn to bottom Bb to a low A Yani.....the answer was a harness that redistributed...
A strap, not really a harness, is favored by a lot of guys in this area. Tony Dagradi (Astral Project), and many of his students use them. These go over the...
The common complaint I hear about the Neotech from almost every user is that it is stretchy, and that makes it difficult to get a precise adjustment for...
I'm with you on stretch being a bad thing, Paul. The best bari strap I've tried is one I got from Oleg, which had a broad shoulder section and "suspender" type...
That's my experience, too. There's a company in Canada, I believe that sells a harness that doesn't stretch. I can't find my bookmark right now, but I'll keep...
This is great info, thank you- just what I was looking for. I think something like the spin strap or the Walt Johnson might be just the thing- I have one...
I'm currently repairing two clarinets with damage to the tenons but neither require new tenons to be fitted, instead they require "filling/shaping and sanding"...
Slow drying epoxy possibly mix with wood dust and/or black colour (pigment). Depending on the size of the missing part, it may be better to reinforce the...
The process for replacing tenons is easy enough (if you have the tooling and skills) that I bet you could replace the old tenons faster and better than trying...
Hello folks, another bari sax question. I have a 50's Martin bari, and a 10 year old YBS-52. The Martin is sharp pretty much across the board in the upper...
Martin baris have known intonation problems. What you describe is not new. I am of the opinion that if there are alternatives (such as the YBS-52 you have,...
I used a 1955 "The Martin" bari for many years, giving up on Mk VI's in favor of the Martin. Intonation was problematic to say the least, but the sound was...
I certainly agree the Martin sound is beautiful. I did consider using crescents, but it seems that solving the sharp upper octave problem (as opposed to fixing...
Of 4 the Martin baris I have owned the only trouble spots I have noticed are a sharpness in E2 and F2. This is the case with both the Handcrafts and Committee...
I don't know about Martin baris, but generally the later Martin altos and tenors that I have or have tried have excellent intonation. If the neck is a mismatch...
anyone have a Martin Bari neck for sale? Or rent? Cheap? It's a great sounding horn, but that dang upper octave intonation... I have ot mess around with it...
My video guys put up some of the old stuff, the quality is not too good, but fun to see... The Tokyo Broadcasting System did a feature on me about 12 years ago...
I have not encountered many Bueschers with snap-in pads in my time. Guess they didn't sell many around here. When one did come in and needed some new pads I...
I recently had a customer ask for Ferree conical resonators (which I stock) and I installed them using an old fashion heat with a burner heat stake tool. There...
100 w Weller Soldering Gun. Heats fast, I just touch it to the stem of the reso, press the trigger, wait a few seconds until it begins to melt, and release the...
That's a whole lot better than grinding the snap posts (spuds) out like I usually see! The next tech could put the stock type pads in, and you could use any...
this has been added to my blog <http://saxophonethoughts.blogspot.com/> http://saxophonethoughts.blogspot.com/ feel free to link to it for your ebay auctions,...
My local tech uses a soldering gun with the tip cut off of the heating element. That way, he uses the pad cup as complete the circuit and actually become the...
... I took the tip from the iron tool that comes with the resonator kit and welded it to a nice radio shack soldering gun tip. Just like a previous post I...
Seems to me not much sin at all. Possibly the best of both worlds: you get the reliable seal and adjustability of seating with shellac, and you retain the...
