Does this work with Martin Committee III necks?

[@MusicMediccom]

Yes! This will work on all sizes of saxophone tenons. We make collets up to 29.5mm, and custom collets are always available on a special order basis. Your Martin would be covered!

🤔How does it not extend the tenon....?

[@MusicMediccom]

Normally a tenon expander will lengthen the tenon ever so slightly, but not enough to make a difference in fit. Our tenon Shrinker in this video doesn't extend the tenon because the force is transferred equally around the circumference of the tenon. We noticed a bad fit with the shrinker, quite the opposite. Great question!
