  1. Sax Repair, Maintenance and Modification
    I have Mark VI tenor 836**. I love it! But previous owner did something rather silly: He had it silver-plated at the Selmer factories.

The finish on the horn is a little cheap and the...
  6. Mouthpiece Maintenance, Modification & Refacing

I don't know how it happened and it did not seem to match what would be expected if the cap was mashed into the tip. In any case, I got it pretty much right and it plays very much like...
  7. Sax Repair, Maintenance and Modification
    Greetings, I have a beautiful silver plated mid-20's vintage Buescher True-Tone that belonged to my grandfather that I finally have gotten around to restoring. The silver plating is in good enough shape that I want to preserve it. However, at some point in its history (probably in the 50's...
