  1. How can I clean a filthy old sax?

    Here it is. It's brass with old lacquer that got dark. I can't seem to get the photo to upload. I'll keep working on it.

    I'll give it my best shot.
  3. How can I clean a filthy old sax?

    Lyon & Healy with beveled tone holes, I think it's a Corturier, Indiana stencil. I know it's a stencil, because they didn't make their own. It has the clown face engraving on the bell, soldered and beveled tone holes. The pads are in great shape, but whoever put them on didn't clean the horn...

    Hello, everyone, Long-time reader, first-time poster. Got a question I haven't been able to find an answer to and I'd bet my right arm one of you will know. There's a key right in front of the topmost RH inline keys on my newly-acquired Migma tenor, and I don't know what the heck it's for...
