My favorite part is your statement," Im not great at resurfacing, but here is a mouthpiece I made from scratch..." all humble. lol looks to me like you got it figured out. Love all these videos, keep it up!

HAHAH, wtf .. what a guy

You sir are a true artist. Much respect!

WHAT A LOVELY JOB!!! Seriously Matt, the amount of knowledge and skill you share with us is incredible! Hope you have a great day

Quality as ever...Respect and thanks for the video's brilliant repair 🎷👍🎵🎼

That would have been a Darna bug l think they called them that would have had a terrible reedy sound with that placement. Great work matt.Cheers from oz

Great job man! Like it

hmm, now I know exactly what I'm asking of my tech. I knew he'd know how to do it but I didn't how he'd get the job done. Very insightful.

Excellent,! Jim

Great job!

Matt, I appreciate your taking the time to make these educational videos. I'm never going to be an instrument repair technician with my all thumbs mechanical skills. But that doesn't mean I can't understand how it's done :-) I was listening to this one and I noticed you mentioned that you should file across the curve that you are working instead of working one side then the other. Is this something you learned in your apprenticeship or something you learned over time and experience?

My apprenticeship lasted 6 months, and was not super great. So most of what I know I figured out on my own and picked up here and there from whoever would help. Hence me saying this is how I do it, because a lot of the time I have very little idea until after I post a video whether it is a widely acceptable method or not! As far as the filing, I learned my technique through trial and error when teaching myself how to reface mouthpieces.

Silver bearing soft solder? Might try it on a flute head where I removed a pickup mount. I think it might be a thinner wall I'll be dealing with though.

I don'y know how you would go about putting a patina on, but , I have used the cheapest lacquer remover that I find. That gives a perfect patina without etching the brass.

Thank you for sharing this information - it really shows you what goes into these repairs! One question I have is how do you then make sure the inside doesn't have any burrs or anything that would affect air movement/resonance? Is it possible to file up inside the neck? Or does that not matter much as long as it's close?

David Harris tiny little birds are probably not going to make any difference at all. The pickup that was in there probably had a bigger impact on the sound and even that was probably minimal.

I wish I could teleport to him so he could look at my horn. My VI neck leaks a bit I believe. I've seen one of his older videos on this.

How flush should the plug be with the inside bore?

Thanks for such a great video. I actually have a Mark VI soprano that’s had a plastic pick up inserted since I purchased it in 1981. I have never used the pick up but it doesn’t seam to leak would you recommend removing it and patching it or should I leave well enough alone ? Is there a sound advantage to removing a pick up ?

Great video Matt!!!. How much does this cost? There's a Ref 54 alto neck that needs the pickup hole closed. Thanks

Hi Matt, do you have a video of how you made your mouthpiece from scratch?

@@StohrerMusic much respect to you Matt. I personally believe that there's no right or wrong way in making mouthpieces. only good and better ways exist I think. haha

Thank you very much Matt your video are always very interesting and clear.I am not an expert, but I have a question: you have worked a lot on the external side, what about the inside. Isn't it necessary to smooth as much as possible the inner surface, to let the air flow to be as smooth as possible. You have shown at the beginning having filed the patch to copy the inner curve, it is not necessary to refine the work when installed?Thank you again

If you make it the correct thickness and the correct curvature and don't use too much solder, it will be smooth on the inside. It is usually impossible to reach the spot in the neck or a pickup has been installed with tools and retain any kind of precision. So the effort must be made before installation to make sure that it matches. However, almost no matter what you do, the neck will be closer to its original shape internally than it was with a pickup installed.

Great topic! If you have a sax with one of these neck pickups, and it's not really causing any problems, is it still worth it to go through this procedure?

Probably not! Unless you are getting the cross-eyed effect like from The Jerk.

I think the metal would deform with brazing anyway it's quite thin.
