D&G pitch jumping

Hey, James… if you’re more or less skillful with your hands, you’ll be able make some minor fixes on your horn. Needless to say it’s a must to know every detail of it. Take your time to watch and learn every key action, how the toneholes open and close, under what fingering conditions, etc. Pay good attention to those keys that operate with some “exceptions” depending on which others are pressed, for example the G#.

Good luck!

Well my sax repair book has paid for itself!

Evertime i pressed the high F# key i was getting a clang followed by a rattling noise!

Traced it down to a rattle on one of the rails, solved it by tightening the end screw by a 1/8 th of a turn – magic it went completely silent. The end screw must have worked loose.
