Thanks to Charles Gray for working on my Conn DJH Mod. bari sax

I've had this wonderful horn for a long time, and after many years of frustration with stuffy low notes and many attempts to get it playing well, I finally decided to bring it to THIS GUY... Yeah the one who restored that disaster of a bass saxophone... Charles did 2 major things. He soldered the body to the bow, and he manufactured a new neck receiver. The original one was distorted, and the neck never fit snugly into it. He got it RIGHT. This thing is now really playing WAYYYY better from low D on down to low A. I can use a harder reed and feel totally secure playing out with this horn now. We A/Bd with his SA80ll Bari. Mine is brighter and more aggressive, and his his definitely darker, more spread and more velvety sounding. Thanks Charles!! Drinkware Wind instrument Musical instrument Serveware Household hardware

He also did a bunch of typical adjustments to the sax. Heres a look at what he did...

I have similarly had to make neck receivers for 4 or 5 Keilwerth stencil baritones in the past 5 years. The original design was ridiculously flimsy on all of them, King Tempos, Couf Superbas, Conn DJHs...all of them!
