I'm glad there isn't a test! If I watch this a few dozen times, maybe I'll have it down.
Great, detailed explanation of the amazing complexity of saxophone anatomy! I've just started playing at 59, and was curious about these details that you have kindly explained; THANK YOU!
Yours is the best channel I’ve found describing how the sax is supposed to operate mechanically and how to ensure it’s working as it should be. Good show.
great info & lesson thanks
Awesome looking work space! This vid was great. I have an alto bundy 2 I've been learning on. Just bought an Antigua intermediate level alto sax :) and wow it plays so much easier. I must have a lot of repairs needed on the bundy because e, d , f requires a lot of air to make the reed talk
Some saxophones have an extra key that allows you to play one more note lower than Bb down to Low A like the Baritone Sax and some Altos (as well as a High F# Key). There's even a saxophone that plays 2 more notes lower down to low G.
Informative!
Love it!
Thhaaaaaank youuu !
This guy knows his shiz - probably a great tech too since he seems very particular
Great material. Can you manual/book with simple charts for a beginner to get familiar with the keys and how they are connected? Thank you!
I think you should write a song about this. "The G# key's connected to the _____ key!" and so forth. Any idea why they stopped making the resonance key? On the bassoon there are some keys people press to make certain notes sound better - you don't have to do it, but knowledegable players do, so they act as manual resonance keys.
I am not sure, but I think they stopped making the resonance key because they changed the right hand mechanism which made the key unnecessary.
If anyone knows more about this, please let us know.
What does the resonnance key do?
What is the hollow regtangular block on the socket joint at your thumb at 1:03 minute called and what is it for? Mine has a little screw in it with a knurled head to screw in and out and is lower down and round the body towards high F palm key?!?!? Also at 5:05 is the buld or bowl youare saying, just before the bell? Cheers and thanks learning a lot from your videos!
The rectangular thing is a lyre holder to hold music for marching band. The tube at the bottom of the sax is called a bell bow.
at 0:35 G with an octave or only G that opens body octave key?? need help coz my mid G to higher (left hand) keys are not working with an octave. Octave remains closed. any idea??
It is hard to say for sure without seeing it, but my first guess is that the pad is sticky. Try pressing the octave key and G key at the same time. If the body octave does not open, try opening it with your other hand and see if it makes a sticky sound.
My second guess is an octave mechanism that is out of adjustment.
My third guess is the key and/or hinge rod is bent and causing a key to stick.
I hope this is helpful.

Please, I've got a new saxophone but anytime I press down the G key the the octave lever doesn't move. Is it a problem or it's just the way it functions?
You have to press the O.K. (Octave Key)
3:00 f e and d keys
You know, I've been trying to find anything on Bundy Selmer's for a few days and haven't found anything solid. I happen to have snagged one and I'm in the process of trying to fix it, having never done any kind of brass/woodwind type repair ever. And upon looking up the proper key names I find a Bundy Selmer from the same era as mine, eyeing me down. I think Google is mocking me.
If possible, could you tell me as much as you know about them? I've been very interested in their history and don't know where to look.
I am not sure exactly what to tell you about them. If you would like, feel free to give me a call. You can find my number on my web site.
@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop I mean, I would like to but I don't want to waste your time.
Hi, I am 15 and am looking to be a repairman professionally. What are some good ways to get started?
Hello,
Band Instrument Repair is a great profession to be in.
I would suggest at your age to buy and sell a few instruments. It will give you a good feel for instruments and it will help teach what instruments are worth. Do not worry about losing a little money every now and then. Just consider it a cheap education. Also, buy a few fix-up instruments that you can practice on without concerning yourself about damaging them.
Once you get a little older, you may want to check into the colleges with Band Instrument Repair. They are in Red Wing Minnesota, Souix City Iowa, and Renton Washington. There is also a college in Canada and in UK.
A college education helps, but it is not necessary. You can also check into apprenticeships at local music stores.
I hope this helps. Fell free to ask any other questions that you may have.
Also, your question gives me a good idea to do a video on the subject.
Thank you,
Art
The Brass and Woodwind Shop thanks! I'm actually going in tomorrow to my local music store to ask for an internship. Super nervous about it though!!!!
Great! Do not be nervous though. Most BIR techs are very eager to share their knowledge with others who are interested in BIR.
The Brass and Woodwind Shop In your video could you include some beginner tools to use for dents etc.? I just stopped by my local shop and they don't take assistants so I guess I'm back to square one :(
I want a clapper horn!!!
They are out there. Just keep looking and you will find one.
Do what?
It looks very confusing.
