Something literally got in the hole where My Mic is located on my tablet.....sound is muffled but it's just me talking. (I'm taking apart my tablet to get the Mic hole cleared out)
Happy to report that I was able to remove the pencil led from the speaker hole of my tablet and since that was succesful and the clean-up of the Grand Opera went so well......I made another video

So, basically this project is on hold until parts arrive Tomorrow. In the meantime I rebuilt the Selmer Bundy I Alto that I had in other vids....it usually takes a day to go through a whole Sax. The Bundy I is also needing a neck cork or else I'd post a video. But lemme tell ya, a Bundy I is way easier than a Bundy II to rebuild.
While sitting and waiting, I have a Silver Buescher C-Mel that I'll start to rebuild right now, I'll make a video and thread chronicling that Sax
Okay, so, this one "IS" a Pan American....my nomenclature is off just a bit when I call it a NWI Stencil. I was being sloppy as Conn basically made a factory to rip itself off by bringing an almost identical horn to the market......but it is unfair to call it a NWI Stencil rather than a Pan American Stencil built for some entity called "Grand Opera" (no info on the web about who that is has been found at this time)
I noticed the Grand Opera on ebay. Really surprised it didn't sell at such a low price, has great pics, a sound sample link, looks nice. Never know, probably just because it's a C-melody and a stencil brand. Maybe the new listing will get it done.
Whoever got it, stole it.....I'm sick about it...but I can't hold onto horns. Just buy 'em, fix 'em up and send them back out on the market and see what you get. Fortunately, I still came out on the positive end and didn't lose. It's always as gamble.
I listed four horns Yesterday.....some nice, some just horns I got from Goodwill that need a pad or two. I have another Tenor to list today and another Buescher Stencil about to land on my doorstep for a Wednesday or Thursday listing.
For some reason, Bueschers have become scarce
