Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Woke: paying a tech more than the horn is worth to adjust tuning
Broke: practicing
A saxophone will always have tendencies. Some notes sit high, some low. This will not change that.
this stuff is, IMHO, bullshit.
I've got one of three actual prototype Conn 10Ms known to exist sitting here in my shop and guess what? They've got these crescents in some of the toneholes BECAUSE THEY ALREADY DID THIS WORK AT THE FACTORY DURING THE DESIGN PERIOD. Meaning people, experts who know more than you, more than me, more than any repairman, have already done this work. You are just spinning your wheels, chasing your tail, and wasting money. Its a great snake oil, and hey if you insist on playing with a weird mouthpiece or bad habits or a tin ear or incorrect key heights maybe this would make it a little less awful but its just. missing. the point.
I think it would be cheaper to tackle these tendencies rather than manipulating the tone holes. And better for your playing
I have made inserts out of Surgru to put in my palm D tone hole, they do indeed help adjust the pitch. On my previous alto, my palm keys were sharp to the point where the voicing needed to keep them down was negatively affect my tone and vibrato but the inserts helped alleviate it.
Is that a magnahelic gauge he is using in the start of the vid?
