My pleasure!!
Trying to play a frozen sax must have been a nightmare! You asked for it, so here are my 2 alto unpleasant gig experiences: I was playing at a posh hotel celebration, but I didn't have much practice time for 3 days before the gig & my embouchure was weak. During one song the film crew documenting the event came to do a close-up of my face, just when my embouchure gave out. Very embarrassing. The other incident; During my solo on "Lily Was Here" the F pad popped off (onto the floor) so I had to finish the solo (and the head) playing only notes above G. I found some super glue, and finished the set. -- Recently (story with a good ending) I was asked to do flute back-ups on a recording with a vocalist. The day before the session my flute stopped playing any notes below F. That evening at a party I mentioned my predicament and a friend of my daughter said she could loan me her flute (that she hadn't used for years.) I was overwhelmed when she gave me the flute: a Sankyo Sonic -- the nicest flute I have ever played. I was on cloud 9, and the recording session went really well.
I only have one real saxophone horror stories and a couple of minor mishaps. In 2020 during lockdown, I decided to get a straight soprano sax as I had wanted to play the soprano sax for a long time. I bought a one piece Conn-Selmer straight soprano. I played that for a while, then one day I was swabbing it out and the cloth I was using, only had one string, not one with pull strings at both ends. I got it stuck tight in the neck of the saxophone. I could not get it out. Stupid me decided to try and cut a bit off with scissors so it might pull out easier. What did I end up doing? I scratched the very edge of the round metal bit above the neck cork, and I also managed to slightly scratch the inside of the neck. Not only that, but I hit the side of the bell on my office chair arm and dented one side of the bell. I contacted my repairer and luckily they were doing repairs at their home, but given what was going on at the time, for hygiene sake, I had to wait longer to have it looked at. I luckily managed to get it mostly sorted. The bell repair fixed the dent in the bell, but it damaged the lacquer on that part and that was a little noticeable. I have never done that again and will never ever go near a saxophone with scissors again. I also have a soprano sax body swab with a string at both ends so I can't get it stuck in the saxophone again. The minor issues I have had was: scratching the table of my Selmer S80 C** with a Francois Louis Ultimate ligature plate (never used those ligatures again and I was lucky it wasn't an expensive mouthpiece), broke off the screw from a silver plated BG Duo ligature and broke off the neck screw in the tenon on my Yamaha YAS-280, both from over tightening the screws. I am always now careful about not tightening screws too much to prevent them breaking.
My worst experience: I picked up my saxophone from a complete overhaul and headed further to a gig. Somebody kicked it on stage and it fell down. The belly was bent. I had to bring it back to the repair shop again after the gig… Another overhaul was necessary.
Careful about curved blades. Oboe players know all the details about it. Pocket knife is NOT a reed knife.
