Thanks for that video link. I have been looking for it for some time.

It's on the Saxofoonwinkel website (http://www.saxshop.nl/), but you need to browse a bit to find it.

Click 'saxofoonwinkel' in the top menu and then 'Film' in the dropdown menu. The Yamaha link is also there and a clip with Charlie Parker and one with Miles Davis.

Years ago I remember seeing a Selmer video where they showed the lead ring used to form the body tube. Haven't been able to find it online anywhere.

I find it interesting that keilwerth is still hand drawing their tube toneholes (making the tonehole chimneys). Even Selmer Paris, if i recall correctly, have it machine drawn.

(i didn't see the entire video, just portions of it)

Jessen is hand drawn.
