Saxophone Repair Topic: Repairing Some Typical Long Term Damage on an old Selmer Tenor, Part 3 

Good night bro l watched this one again right to the end .Please keep up your good work.See you soon.

Idk why but vintage saxes to me look so much cooler than modern saxes

Hi, Matt. I really enjoy your vids. I have been repairing horns for 20 years, playing sax profeaaionally for 40. I learned from friendly repair techs and have been fortunate to find them. I wish I had your vids 20 years ago!. I do a good repad and a little soldiering, but no dent work. I have an observation about shipping damage - NEVER use FEDEX! I buy saxes regularly and they damage 80 % of them . UPS is a little better, but I have had a horn totaled by them. I use Us Post office - GROUND - you need to keep the horn out of airports as much as possible since that is where the worst damage seems to happen. You can also choose the hand carry option for $11 extra, so they dont process it on machines. This has worked well for me, since Dent work always has to go to a tech. thanks gor the great vids and great work - your an inspiration.

Thanks for sharing all these, Matt.

Great work Matt. Horn will be a beauty when you are done. Jim

Hi, I have a very similar Selmer New Large Bore from 1930, can you tell me if this saxophone also has a problem with a much too high lower Bb B C C # and do you have a solution? Regards, great channel!

9:30 How does it look to me? Damn near perfect :)

Hi, Matt. I have a Bundy tenor gold color saxophone. I am looking for a part that is a Swivel Arm located behind the neck screw) to replace by myself. I found this video and you repaired the exact same part I did broke. (starting from 14:01 on this video) The broken part is near the pin key under the crook key ring. The part connects the pin key and the body key on the top of the body. that makes a higher octave. When I found the pin key was bent, I tried to correct it with a hand tool. Then the "swivel arm " broke. The broken swivel arm has a hole and a rod screw inside . The swivel arm used to connect the pin key and body octave key. Where can I order the swivel arm to repair it by myself. Can you recommend any place that I can order part? And what is the name of the part that I need to order? Thank you.

Thanks Matt for all the great videos you put on RU-vid..... is there anyway I can talk to you on his cell phone... or messaging

You are an artist man. What are those polygonal patches on the bell?

most important ... Who was the shipper. Was that sent only in bubble wrap? It had so much damage everywhere.Your work is amazing by the way. very detailed videos. One day i will find a conn 10 m tenor like the one Aubra Graves playes.

Have you ever used Kroil? Excellent penetrating oil. J8m

20:12, pull left from your thumb, it isn't straight. That is . not 90 degrees straight. Nice cigar cutter though, an expensive instrument deserves time.
