Your video in two parts has been very usefull for me to achieve my first overhaul of a vintage alto sax of an unknown mark named KING, a copy of a selmer VI alto. THanks a lot ! Merci beaucoup !!
Why would you skip the hinge lube???? I started to inquire on Part I, why would you put the hinge rods back into the horn?? If you are going this far into a horn, wouldn't it be a good idea to clean those rods?? They are either rusty, or they are black with lubricant and dirt, depends on the user, but in both cases the hinge rod needs addressing. You kinda left off a MOST important part.
Your video is great! Do you have a pdf file that covers the disassembly and assembly instructions? This especially applies the names and locations of the keys and sound holes. Sometimes, it is best to examine figures on a page.
many thanks for all the information. with that I changed all the pads of my yamaha alto saxophone YAS 475 a lot of savings $$$$ pierre caron 75 years old
The best, most thorough tutorial I've found.
Thanks for the tutorials! Saved me a whole bunch of money by teaching me how to disassemble/reassemble myself so I could deep clean my sax.

Well I just finished putting in my last new pad. Now I will attempt assembly. Without this video I'd be SOoo lost..Thanks.
Outstanding video! Well done and informative! Really helped me restore my 1923 Silver Holton, thanks.
Perfect!
I love you, you saved me and my sax 🙂
They make Alto Saxophones that can play down to Low A & also versions w/ a High F# Key (and even a High G).

Thank you I just wanted to clean my saxophone but I didn't quite nknow how to put it back together
Again thank you
Thank you for sharing these videos
How do you prevent the pivot screws that are not fully tight (due to adjustment) from rotating with the movement of lever rods?
They never move out, they basically hold still while the key pivots.
Thanks a lot!!
