Fascinating! That must have made it much easier to tune, at the expense of keeping it clean.

The MacGyver of instrument repair. Very fascinating....

Great video.

If any of y’all are interested, I would very much recommend checking out Matt Stohrer (of Stohrer Music) here on CZcams, if this kinda stuff interests you. He’s a saxophone repairman that specializes in vintage saxophones. Very interesting and informative!

Hi great vid!
On my sax the pin key that pushes the crook key ring is bent and I’m afraid that if I force it it’ll snap any tips ❓

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

You need to be careful to rotate the bend around the point where it needs to bend. If you do it the right way, there is a small chance it will break. If you bend it in an uncontrolled way, there is a lot more chance that it will break. It is very hard to explain the technique in words. I have not yet done a video on this yet, but I will try to publish one in the near future.

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

You have to decide if you want to risk it. You may be better off taking it to a repair shop.

[@l.j167]

Ok thank you 😊

[@tomswift6198]

A weirdly overdesigned system. It's no mystery why nobody else adopted it. Besides having to mess around with the tiny screws and the spanner rings, the outboard end of the moving part is very thin and easily damaged. Particularly on C-mels (which basically have people mystified so that they try to do awful things like cram alto mouthpieces on), that end can take a beating.
I wish I had some long screwdriver inserts like that.

[@javierquesada798]

teacher, forgive me for giving you my opinion, I would remove the octaba key and I would work better thanks

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

You are correct. I should have removed the octave key first.
