Thanks a lot Matt. I am learning dent removal in school right now. I am attempting to remove dents from a zephyr special neck. So it was very helpful to watch you as you are working.

No, it's mine. Part of the reason I own it is because of your ZS videos.

Nice intro. Haha, great video.

Hello! Thank you for your videos, they are very useful for a beginner. Please tell me what is the name of the tool with which you are expanding the socket (in the video it is 5.44 minutes)? Where can I get it? Or maybe somewhere there is a drawing for the manufacture of this tool?

Looks like a tenon expander from Ferree's. 3 years too late but maybe it'll help someone

Great work, loved it. I have a question regarding dent removed sax. Even if they are well repaired, do they change sax sound in a perceivable way? Thanks and cheers from Argentina

@@AutismusPrime69 listen to this pro... lol the real answer is no, it's a negligible and unnoticeable difference. The dent causes more of a tonal change than a repaired dent ever could. The only way dent work will make the instrument tonality change is if you were to use a dent machine like a dutch wheel that could thin the metal, or if the dent tools used blow the dent out and make the inner diameter larger.

Hello Matt, my only comment would be to do the inner work first working to the opening. That way any damage inflected accidently can be removed with the existing damage.

Hi Matt Stohrer. Can’t seem to find that expanding tool anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Ferree's Tools was where I got the internal expander, I believe. Allied Supply also has dent tools, as does Votaw and JL Smith.

Just don't waste your money on jl smith tools lol overpriced and over engineered nine times out of ten. Or even worse music medic tools, they aren't even made in house they just buy other indusrty purpose built tools and rebrand them with their logo.

Nice work. The original finish looked like colored lacquer over the sterling silver. Jim

Matt Stohrer interesting. King almost his the upgrade. Did not know that. When you see them they are polished up. I like king horns. One of the best bari saxes I ever played was a king. Prefer old Conn for rolled tone hole but kings are under rated. Enjoy your work. Jim

I have a dent I wish someone could fix

Isn't this just silver plated? If it were sterling silver why are there patches of brass showing where the silver plating wore off? Sterling silver usually indicates the piece is solid silver. Like with flute headjoints. When a haynes says sterling silver it means solid silver. But when it's silver plated it states it's plated. Either way good work on the dents. Here's my two cents as a fellow instrument repair tech (15 years experience), i use a trumpet lead pipe mandrel to round out dented in tenons instead of the leaf expander , I'll use the leaf expander only for fitting tenons because like you said the leaf expander will blow out the hardened metal. Since as we know from having done our own fair share of dent work that the edge of the dent is harder than the dent itself. I know this won't work with necks like this with sleeves but if you use the leaf expander with a shrinking collet around the tenon you don't have to worry about blow outs when using the leaf expander. That's how i round flute tenons in some cases.
