When I sent an email to the SOTW member selling "the dumpster horn" I asked him if it was a "relacq". When he realized I was joking we both had a good laugh.
I am writing this from the NAPBIRT headquarters in Normal, Illinois where the repair workshop ended yesterday. I have a late flight so they have allowed me to continue working on my sax in the shop one more day. Each of the six members of the class just finished repadding the lower stack of the sax they brought after 4 days of work and study which shows how much detail was covered. The course taught by Jeff Peterson of Yamaha was well worth the $700 tuition and travel expenses.
