Danny, I use all the magnets all the time. On saxophones i use the mostly the 1.5" and 2" flat magnets. The rounded face magnets (RAT) come in REALLY handy but...

Tom, Amen on the "If it's not going right or making sense, come back tomorrow." I have to have at least two work benches, usually brass and ww. Not just for...

Alan, OH NO! Were the tone holes detached before you soaked it? Either way, you will have to be good at soldering, especially if many tone holes are detached....
Gary has had another stroke this past Sunday and is in ICU (still). If you wish to send a card, send it to the Ferree Tool offices and they will get it to him....
Thanks for the info! I'll get a card right out!! Gary has been soooo instrumental in developing tools we use on a daily basis...besides being such a great guy....
Hello friends: (sorry my horrible english idioma) I intented place pads of neoprene in my instruments. Someones run good on sax with resonators. On others with...

The reason this key enjoys the reputation for being difficult to adjust is because it was originally regulated with cork. Replace the cork with Teflon shrink...

There's really very little to it. It must open sufficiently when the right hand middle finger is lifted, and it must close when that finger is pressed.  ...
the way the mechanism works on most horns, the cork covered bar slides on a bare metal bar. This tends to destroy the cork prematurely. This is why I suggest...
My 1929 is my main Alto and I love it, wouldn't trade it for anything; it sounds like Sax! I, too, clamp my forked Eb closed except on my Conn bari and...

You can have Split Enz back and the Pavlova claim is highly contentious! You need to listen to the song which says "I come from a land Down Under", not a small...
I would guess it came with white pads with a stich. I base that on a Holton alto of similar vintage that passed through here in the last year. It also has a...
