Nice job, thanks for the info. I have a 1955 Conn Director that has lacquer damage (no lacquer ) from the previous owner. They used the wrong polish.. they stopped but still made a mess. It didn't affect the playability of the horn but I was wondering if I can use the same method to patch it. I don't want to have it redone. I like the old vintage look. I just have more of the no lacquer patches as the horn you worked on does.. but my patch is along the left side of the lower section.
Thank you, this is very informative. Do you carry Dark honey gold Lacquer (cognac) spray to touch up an Alto P Mauriat 67RCL Saxophone? or do you know which color number that matches it?
Yep. ti's going to contain a solvent to keep the lacquer in solution, and since the old lacquer is the same or similar chemically, the solvent in the new lacquer is able to dissolve the old lacquer when it makes contact
You don't. Refinishing saxophones is generally frowned upon, and it is generally time consuming, difficult to do right, and extremely expensive- and after all that, you have most likely devalued the instrument anyhow.
Absolutely amazing, thank you for helping us vintage addicts. You’re the best!
Great tip Matt. Thank you for sharing!
Very smart touch-up.
Great tip! thanks

Seems like it almost re melts the old lacquer while adding some new lacquer…..blend.
Good stuff

Great👍
How do you fix all of the scratches that are on the rest of the saxophone body?
