    SML gold horns ~ the rest of the story...

    Extremely interesting stuff, saxpics and groovekiller. Thanks for sharing. Most interesting thing to me is the "Perm. Gold" finish on the Adolphe instruments was cheaper than silver plate!

    SML gold horns ~ the rest of the story...

    Pardon if this is a double post, it doesn't look like my first one took. Here is an image of a Perma Gold sax: Here is a video of the same horn: http://youtu.be/qVtP2dMROXE I have looked through those photos and they all look Perma-Gold to me. It is quite distinctive when held up...

    Fun With Brass

    Well I put my thinking cap on and hunkered down for a good 20 minutes thinkfest and found (thanks to JBT's clues!) that the source for the gel pictured at the top of the thread is here: http://www.cooltools.us/Cool-Tools-Liver-of-Sulfur-in-Gel-Form-2oz-p/pol-802.htm Thanks Steve! Super...

    Fun With Brass

    Awesome. Do you have a recommended source? Does the solution have any effect on old lacquer? Does the patina wear off at all if you don't lacquer over it? Left in, does it just continue to get darker?

    Oops, they did it again (aka, Buffet sells themselves. Again)

    This was a very informative and interesting read, guys. Thank you for taking the time to share. As it happens, I really personally like Keilwerth and would be just as sad if this was bad for them as if i wasn't a dealer. I actually don't use money I don't have to buy things (crazy talk!) so...

    Oops, they did it again (aka, Buffet sells themselves. Again)

    Would it be naive to hope that the Buffet Group (more specifically Keilwerth, for whom I have just become a dealer) could benefit from this?

    patch inside the bow on late Selmer altos

    Good to know. So far, all indications are that it was Elkhart who did it.

    patch inside the bow on late Selmer altos

    I agree. My guess is that it will be found factory installed on American-assembled horns only, but its just a guess.

    patch inside the bow on late Selmer altos

    Ok, so I'm putting this in repair rather than Selmer because I think this question is more likely to have an answer from someone browsing this section. Sometime in the later run of Mark VI altos, Selmer put a patch inside the bow- most likely as part of their continuing experimentation with...

    The Beauty of Saxophones: Conn M-series Edition

    The horn has been traded away, so no new pictures. The G# lever key pivots on a hinge tube that is perpindicular to the body tube, so the G# touchpiece presses straight down towards the body tube. I have outlined the G# lever key in the original picture here:

    The Beauty of Saxophones: Conn M-series Edition

    The RH thumb position is something I have definitely heard before, but it fits me ok. I really like the adjusting thumbrest on the transitional altos- not because its amazingly excellent at its job (it does fine, but its nothing amazing), but its just a cool design.

    The Beauty of Saxophones: Conn M-series Edition

    The Conn M-series saxophone. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful saxophones ever made, and an example of American design and craftsmanship at its finest. I just finished an overhaul on one of mine (1940 10M) to go up for sale on my site, and I realized that in particular, there are...

    I don't think I've learned so much on a variety of subjects before as I have in this thread.

    WANTED: lots of old Otto Link TM/STM ligatures

    I'm on the lookout for a bunch of the old TM/STM Link ligatures, the ones with the "T" or "Otto Link" stamp. I always have a use for them, and I am running low from my last bulk purchase of these. Mostly looking for tenor, but I won't turn down an alto at a good price. Got a bunch of...

    WANTED: Martin "The Martin" Committee III tenor saxophone, 160k-ish serial range

    I'm looking for a good original condition Martin Committee III around 160k-ish (flexible on that) to overhaul for a customer. The horn MUST be original finish, must be in good shape, must have all its original bits, must not have had major past damage even if it was repaired well. Ideally...

    pretty pictures of a gold-plated Couf Superba I

    Clarnibass, I get it now! Sorry for the confusion. Haha wow I guess you can tell all of that from the "exif" data? I am a photographic noob although I am getting into it. Like you said, it gets complicated and expensive very fast. I'm particularly interested in taking better audio for...
