    Ive got a similar issue with a saxophone i borrowed recently. I am beginner and Im having problems playing the 4 lower notes since they overtone. Are there any ways to do a similar repair job at home?

    Yep that’s it. The way each one blows matters too, volume & airflow pressure makes a huge impact on it. Another point of view it’s, if it’s worse with zero gap, why not chose a larger Backbore ? The big names havee we been talking about the gap only on trumpets …. There aren’t Gap on flugelhorns ?

    Well said! I think gap is not such an issue in flugelhorn because it has conical bore and not cylindrical like trumpet.

    Cool video. I enjoyed the backstory and history. I just bought a Selmer USA as my first bari and I agree that it has a fat sound.

    Hi Timo, this Video is very interesting. It's a good ideal, to make the plating at home ! It's funny, that you plate a nickel valve . I'm playin my Getzen Severinsen Trumpet since 1979. But the nickel plated valves work very well..I think, these nickel valves are definitely the best kind of valves. Your plating method will be much more interesting for users of monel and Steel valves and Ithink, the method is the same..copper and the nickel, correct? Best wishes from germany, peter

    Hello, you can buy pads from several places e.g. musiccenter.it, ferreestools.com or musicmedic.com, but if you have no prior experience in repairing saxophone it is best to leave it to a professional repair technician. Changing pads looks easy but it is fairly difficult to get them seal well without any leaks.

    Thanks! For this video I just inspected the casing with light to see there are no dents, but you can't make sure it's perfectly round by just inspection. I usually use a ground casing mandrel but I didn't have exact mandrel for that casing. To be absolutely sure it'd need to be machined with lathe. www.ferreestoolsinc.com/products/n58a-ground-casing-mandrel-631-700

    Great videos! When you do tank plating, how do you know how long to keep the item in the tank? Does so many minutes equal a certain amount of plating thickness? When you are brush plating, do you have to stop at certain design line on the trumpet? What I mean is, does the new plating blend in well with the old plating, or can tell tell where you plated and where you didn't? Thanks!

    Thanks! There are calculators in web for counting the needed time, e.g. www.goldn.co.uk/brush-plating-calculator/ but for brush plating it is more difficult to count the time. Brush plating blends in quite nicely, it is more about how well you have made the buffing and cleaning, so how shiny the surface is, so you don't need to cut it to certain point. But edge may be still visible if you look carefully.
