- This is a how-to video about adjusting spring tension on saxophones. The techniques are very similar on all woodwind instruments.
Here is a link to where you can get a spring hook:

Excellent video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for another great instructional video! I learn so much from you!
Thanks, that was very helpful.
yeah - great presentation - thanks 🙂
You just confirmed that a weak spring can cause a pad to vibrate and leak so it would play bad. Just tightened the G sharp spring. Thanks, Jim, NZ
Excellent information. Thankyou.
Thank you somuch
Thanks a lot
It sounds like you're saying to push/bend the spring beyond the cradle to loosen tension at 2:00 and at 3:10 it sounds like your saying to pull/bend the spring back or the opposite way to loosen the tension? Which way do I bend the spring to loosen the tension? Sorry, confused...
In the 2:10 example, you would push beyond the spring cradle to loosen the tension.
What you are referring to at 3:10 is a different part of the saxophone and the spring may be different at that location
you say the springs can break. if that happens, how do you replace a spring?
By pushing it out. Most of the time you will need a special instrument
Here are two videos that show how to remove broken springs. I have not done one yet on replacing springs, but it is not too hard to figure it out once the old one is removed. I will try to do a video on that some day.

Thanks for sharing this information but that was the C key-not Eb.
Oops! I made a mistake.
@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop it happens to the best of us! It was a good point and I’ve got a 1939 tenor that works beautifully in playing position despite the spring tension seeming light even it’s lying flat.
Please, please for the love of your saxophone, do NOT try to do this YOURSELF! I don't care how much it costs; once you screw this up, you'll have to pay to get it done anyway. I learned this the hard way!!
