Just got one of these guys in the shop; need some direction. 4-digit serial number(doesn't say R.O.C. anywhere) Has been rebuilt somewhere along the way. Pads...
Quite a few of those were sold in my area in the past, so I see them from time to time...they look JUST LIKE a baritone sax..the only horns that I have seen...
I wanted to ask folks to chime in with some do's and don't for silver soldering. That's one thing i have a very difficult time with. I also have trouble...
I've always just used the silver solder & flux from Ferree's or Allied - tried and true as they say. Jeweler supply houses probably have more options for...
I use a "Little Torch" burning MAPP and Oxygen..Borax flux..I got a jig from (I think) Ferree's, not the alligator clip type, but a REAL jig that will hold any...
... A couple of other things to watch. For a flute key, remove the spud and fully clean out the lead solder before you apply brazing heat anywhere else....

How do you like the MAPP & oxygen setup? I've "heard" that the gas burn through rather quickly. But I think in reality, if I'm going to use it just for...

The Mapp and Oxygen with the little head works great for keys and braces if you are going to use it only once in a while. The oxygen costs more, but you can...
I know we discussed this before, but my memory is foggy- I have Yamaha 52 bari. I have trouble with the upper octave C# and palm keys- I'm holding the octave...
In no way am I trying to imply that the improvements I have offered on my designs are the last word or the ultimate solution..I feel sorta kinda alone in...
Good advice from the horn repair guys. My experience is jewelry "hard" solder. The precepts for soldering I learned are: 1 Good mechanical fit. 2) Chemical...
Has anyone used the Bonneville pads from MartinMods.com? Anyone still use the Jim Schmidt pads? Top Tone pads? STEVE GOODSON SAXOPHONE DESIGNER TO THE STARS ...
Although I've never used those pads, I'm a recent convert to your Saxgourmet pads from Music Medic (no, this is not a plug!). These are the best pads I've...

OK, so why is it that a cold horn goes sharp as you play it (that is, as it warms up)? Since warm air makes metal expand, shouldn't it be the other way around?...
Totally agree, Steve. As an electrical engineer and a teacher, one thing I've noticed that is a negative side effect of the 'net is what you're talking about....
... I must have to do with the column of air and the speed it vibrates rather than the length and diameter. The expansion of the brass is small enough at...
The speed of sound is slower in the cooler, denser air. As the horn warms up, the air in the horn warms up and is less dense, and the speed of sound is faster...
