As a Mechanical Engineer and sax player, this is one of the most amazing and relaxing videos I have ever viewed. Thank you for taking the time to create and publish it.
Hahahaha same man… same… the music too ahhhhh
I was a 60 hour a week brass and woodwind repairman for 37 years . This video is my first time around it , since I retired . You are doing some fine work .
I'm sure with 37 years under your belt you must do some nice work as well ;)
Anybody who wants to sponsor me to build back the workshop? I used to clean the saxophones in the kitchen because we couldn't afford a proper flushing station. I had gave up all the tools and I recently found this video hit over 200k views and it's so amazing. Now I think my current life style would allow me to go back to repairing wind instruments and create way more repair instruction videos.
I do hope you find a sponsor; you are very talented. Where would your shop be located? Also, you'd make more $ if you post more videos with step by step repairing and tools needed for the repair- you'll get revenue from the work you do; sponsorship, YT as well as your repairs. It's a great business.
I know of a store wanting to hire a repairman in Jax FL. message if interested
Out of interest, how much would such a repair cost? It is great craftmanship you show in this video. And i am sure you would be able to get lots of customers if your work is so impecable.
@@mikkelthomsen9285 well a minimal repair shop with a moderate showcase space for saxophones wouldn’t really cost so much, but the issue is the liquid funds that I want to use to purchase number of vintage saxophones that I can restore and sell. The purchasing and selling part had to be routinely work and at that time when I used to be in the repair industry I wasn’t really handy on communicating with other sax shop owners and vintage sax owners. I wish I could start it all over again, but now I have built career somewhere else for a period of time and I can’t risk it to leave it.
It is a pleasure to see this level of work being done. I am a technician myself and I use many of the same techniques. I'd shake your hand if I could. Dom.
헐~ 당연히 외국 수리사님이 엄청 고퀄리티로 수리 모습 찍어 올리시는구나 하고 영상 다보고 밑으로 내려오니 한국분! 덜덜
Beautiful work!!!
Many thanks for your good work!
All the musicians are ever in debt with you and all the luthiers. Blessings!
Great video, great work, great horn, and most importantly, fantastic cat, 12/10
I did it myself so many times ... looks really cool. Very nice production.
최고
Meticulous, detailed, craftsmanship, integrity!!
Great work! Five Stars.
Excelente Trabajo !!! Felicitaciones
Super awesome! definitely gooder!
Muito bom Show de bola gostei demais excelente
Amazing video ! Nice work ! I really enjoyed watching someone who is so organized and professional

Ain't it nice to see somebody that knows what he's doing? Especially with Jobim's Meditation in the back ground.
Also shout out to Musicmedic bc their products are the world best
Good info and even better - the Trio and the Song
A superb video !
Thanks
A master at work and the sound track wasn't bad either, one of the few demos I did not have to speed up, or mute to enjoy/appreciate. I take great care of my horns and tear them down, clean, lube and reassemble when needed. It takes a lot of time to do that. Hopefully they'll never need the kind of care shown here.
q q i want to do this to one of my backup horns, what kind of lube do you use and do you use something specific to clean? Alcohol or any other kind of chemical? I’m kind of hesitant to use chemicals
thank you = sensei !
Thank You ! :)
Gorgeous video!
Good job! Well done!
And Inspiring. And hand made pads...and kept the original finish...and and and. My dentist is Korean. In my younger days, I'd have just kept my Selmers at your shop between going on the road.
I dont know what you just did,but it was impressive to say the least. You are clearly a master at your`e craft.
love that version of Recorda-Me in there.
Cologne Sax Quartet featuring Bob Mintzer
Excelente trabajo !!!
Wonderful video
I would like to know where you are located and if by chance teach how to repair sax. But right now I would like to know how to tune both a Bari and a Tenor. What type of equipment do you use and how do you determine where to place the liners for tuning.
ME is willing to answer any question regarding saxophone maintenance , so please feel free!
Which Saxophone is best to buy for an absolute beginner based on your experience working with saxophones?
@@dan6039 Hey Dan! I apologize I didn't come back to the video for a while!!! So for a beginner level saxophone, you want a 1,000-2,000USD range saxophone that is in a decent condition. You definitely need to look for a modern saxophone that was built after year of 2,000 WILL be a safe choice. Look for a local instrumental store and make sure to have decent warrant policy on the sax! Brand wise, as long as if it's Japanese or Taiwanese, they are built comfortable to play, because they basically mock the legendary vintage Selmers.
im currently going to school for repair myself, i havent got into large woodwinds yet, but I want to know if there are any tips you could give for making repadding for sax or clarinet just a bit easier, repadding clarinet was an absolute pain to learn and took me a long time to get the hang of, and flute to me is actually somewhat enjoyable.
긴 로드가 오래되서 안풀릴때는 어떻게 빼야 하는가요?
aah, metal resonators. I likes it. Also the black kangaroo pads. Good to know my man Tom is up on that .
Bravo!
perfect video
AWESOME !!!!
What a brilliant video! You really are a fantastic repair technician. Where did you get the idea to wrap the bar with felt? I like it! - Did you use synthetic felt (from ferrees) or ultra-suede (from musicmedic)?
I picked up a tenor a few years ago and taught myself some basic and have since recorded quite a few tunes. I've done repad jobs on a number of horns that I've gotten on Ebay. I'd much rather play than fix but I've always been a gearhead & tearing an instrument like a sax apart to see how it how it works, [if your at all mechanically inclined]... you get a true appreciation for the instrument. I wish I had all the tools this guy has...well maybe not...I'd much rather just play instead.
Great video, super precise overhaul, how every overhaul should be. Question, what is the grey material you are using for the 'felt' padding strips you are using?
very cool. thank you.
I had no idea Saxaphones were so intricate! Amazing how much goes into repairs and tuning. How. Many hours did it take to get this instrument all overhauled and what would it cost? I’m sure it is worth every penny!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
fw1421 My last two overhauls were $800.00 each. Worth it.
I think it was 30hr overhaul considering there wasn't much with the body work.
@@stanhegeman8751 That's cheap......It's usually $1,300 here in SoCal for this level of work.
Really so nice video
Speech is so much more informative than a tune playing.
the music really makes this video awesome! if you watch it at 1.5 speed, the music is insane! XD
Right here is someone that has a passion and pure talent!
One video all saxophonists should watch!
One question - whose music is being played in the video? Brilliant! ⭐

Master!
I am repairing an old Vito Kenosha alto sax and I need an new low C/Eb double spring post ( also has to be threaded). Any idea on where I can get one?
So I’m looking to buy a 1972 Yanigasawa Alto tomorrow morning and know it has some tarnishing under the lacquer after 58 years since manufacture. I was contemplating getting someone to refurbish it by dismantling like this, stripping the lacquer & polishing it, re assemble it including the repairs / tuning as depicted here.
I read in the comments this is a bad idea?
I should just get it cleaned and serviced and leave the tarnish under the lacquer?
I had a Yanni Tenor I played for a couple years around ‘75-‘76 & haven’t played in the 44 years since.
I was planning to buy this Yanni because it’s a pro horn rather than buying a Yamaha Student Sax, because I recognised the brand from all those years ago.
Is it a bad idea to buy such an old Yanigasawa, for a beginner?
I’m imagining I will have to have pads replaced etc to get it to play after 48 years since manufacture.
I’ve offered $500🇦🇺 so have some wiggle room to maybe get it serviced and maybe buy a nice high end mouthpiece.
It would be nice if it was all shined again but I guess I can live with tarnish if that’s the way to go.
🤔🤔Eso es arte 🤔🤔 artesano
My Korean is a little rusty, but this is a good visual instruction on sax repair.
I want that leak light! I hate the one I use now. Yours looks much more robust and reliable. Thanks for the great video.
Matt V.
Put some Ribbon LEDs in a string.. Connect a battery of the right voltage. A box, a switch.. battery holder ...make your own..
I made one for my saxophone Man Friday.
He did my next repair for free. Cost me very little .. He was over the moon, delighted.
Sharing each others realm of expertise!
@@MauriatOttolink Just as cheap to buy one today .. around a fiver.
@@chrisconlon7970
Hi Chris...
Yeah..but being an electronics service man..I just opened a drawer and got the bits out .
@@MauriatOttolink That makes sense. I retired only March this year from repairing and building PC , laptops and mobile phones, so I have all except the LED strip :)
@@chrisconlon7970
Well...Ebay will have LED Ribbons etc. But there are also single LED of intense brightness. The tiniest leak would show up.
Yes to "Bad Plus"
very nice. what kind of glue are you using? do you use an assembly grease or oil?
Класс!
Hey there, just wanted to know how much does it cost to refurbish a sax? Thanks
guy definitely knows what he's doing
Stantawn Kendrick Wrong again bro. He didn’t even give the horn a bath to remove the crude inside the horn. This guy is an amateur...
@@anonymousguy7723 it probably wasn't requested by the customer as the instrument looked fine aesthetically, just old and required an overhaul on the pads. After all, a full bath and scrub is expensive and only improves aesthetics. It is only ever needed on very very old and unmaintained instruments or if the customer requests for it. The techniques displayed in the video are very meticulous and professional so it would be wise to not that challenge that which you do not know enough of.
@@jin1252 Actually cleaning is very important, especially in the neck and mouthpiece. You can get pneumonia if the horn is never cleaned. Or the neck can get red rot. It's a must have in overhauls or even just services.
However, it's possible that he did that, just didn't film it.
Taylor Eigisti Trio Taylors Dream, but the album is not on spotify or youtube.
Muito top👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎷🎷🎷🙏🏽🙏🏽
Saludos cordiales, tengo una consulta en el minuto 9:23 que es lo que se coloca ? Y por qué lo pone alrededor de la chimenea del Saxofón. Por qué lo pone tal vez es por la afinación ? Gracias saludos desde Ecuador Gran trabajo. 👍🏼💪🏼
It is very difficult to find a repair engineer of his level in Korea, but of course Japan can find many engineers who are superior to his own skills.
At least in his country, where there is no Saxophone manufacturer, everything is imported and parts procurement costs are high.
Bom dia, sou do Brasil e gostaria de deixar meus parabéns para seu trabalho, gostaria de saber mais sobre essa regulagem sobre afinação, altura de chaves e tamanhos das chaminés dos buracos, poderia me ajudar?
Great job!!
By the way, how does the tool you're using in minute 1:22 work? I'm starting doing really little works for my colleges and the tolerance problem with the neck appear quite oftem... and I can't find the way to solve it. Now I can see this little machine. Where could I buy one of that.
You tighten the screw on top, then rotate the neck. But you can easily overexpand it, especially the end. If you want to do it anyway on your own (don't), then definitely buy a shrinking dye for that as well because you will need it, especially for the first try. And watch Music Medic's video on how to use it.
Great work. So much time and care went into that! Well Done
Who´s the saxophonist playing from 5:25 to 10:00? And what's the last song played? Can´t find it
The saxophone soloist is Bob Mintzer, who is playing with the Cologne Saxophone Quartet.
I'm trying to figure out the song playlist any help?
Cual es la función de colocar media lunas de corcho en el minuto 9:23 he buscado información desde hace 4 años y no la consigo claramente, agradezco mucho su respuesta.
Good video. Great editing, music choice perfect... Recommendation: You are filming WAY to dark. We can’t see what you are doing.
The micrometer at 5:03 is just hyperbole. He goes on to wrap cork that is a centimeter larger (Normal course of action) but makes the micrometer work nonsense.
Yeah I can't disagree tbh
@@user-ht2bm4tg1o can't disagree..except that it does help for peace of mind when putting the cork on..why put a cork on that's way too thick
My guy in Slidell La. is Tom Barbary. He’s gooooood. Adjustments last, even in this salt water infested humidity.
Extra points for kitty!
WaW
So how can I get this perfectionist to work on my Mark VI like he does in this video!! I would kill to find someone like this guy out here by me in the Chicagoland area. Please speak up if you know anyone remotely close to the level perfection this genius out here! I would greatly appreciated it! Thanks for posting this masterpiece video!
I'm a little late in responding to your email, but just found this vid. I've been playin' since '61 and first gig in '69. I've been a repair tech since '75, now retired. Worked on literally thousands of saxes over the years including every model Selmer made from Cigar cutter to model 26, radio improved,.Bal action, up to SAII and III. Does Roger Black still own sax shop on Noyes in Chic? If you want i MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU out. I rebuilt the Selmer that Steven Jordheim won intnl. competition in Paris back in 80's. If you know Bobby Lewis in Chic. please say hi from me. We did a little tootin'. Great trumpet man! Also Roger Pemberton from Merv Griffin band. If your interested you can reply this or call 251-223-7785. Happy to help, call any time. Keep Playin'.
gary PS I will bi in Wis. from about 6/15-9-15. About 4 hrs. from Chic.
I know this is about a year later, but if you’re still looking for a tech, there’s a place called Barnard Instrument Repair in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I think it’s a 3-4 hour drive from chicago. They do a really good job. Here’s their website www.barnardrepair.com
great job first time I watch a video of yours, I loved it, I would like to get in touch with you a little more, is it possible? I am a technician too.
Since the unit is totally broken down why didn’t the client have it re-plated?
Re - laquering means the instrument has to be sanded down. This lowers the value of the instrument.
Does anyone know the brand of this horn?
Nice quality work
Beautiful workmanship! The www.benchww.com link is dead and no mention of it on the WWW. Would love to know who this maestro is. I'd imagine this is what Curt Altarac's Music Medic Uberhaul is like. That will set us back $2-3K USD!
Are you able to tune saxophones when some notes are out of tune from the factory?
You can't have "Some notes" out of tune. They all are or they all aren't. Perhaps you have air leak around the pads. A light leak tester costs around £5
Chris Conlon Thats INCREDIBLY incorrect and ALL saxophones are notorious for less than perfect intonation, particularly for beginner horns. There’s a reason why it’s recommended you tune to concert A.
Where and how can I get this done to my horn?
depends where you live.
Hello. Why are you pasting a piece of cork into a tonal hole? at 9.33 minutes
Wiche song is it ?
Anyone in Georgia that can work on a horn such as this?
Opa boa tarde eu tenho um trombonito em dó conhecido como trombone de macha ele é um weril júnior e é niquelado e tem alguns amassados quanto custa?? pra dar um banho de prateado no corpo todo e dourado só nos pistos e nas partes que abre
Who´s the pianist playing from 0:20 to 3:00? can´t find it!
Taylor Eigsti - from his album Taylor's Dream
The tune is OLEO. composed by the saxist, Sonny Rollins.
The Theme was played, in a kinda Lennie Tristano style (bass clef work) At 2:22, very much the style of Red Garland.
do you use hot glue for pads?
It looks like he uses the MusicMedic Z-Gun(a dispenser for synthetic shellac). Much of his tooling is MusicMedic tooling.
What is glue for corks? Thanks
Regular contact cement is fine...I don't think there's any other kind used for applying the corks...corks only...not for the pads!!
Hi! I would like to know what is added to the holes at minute 9:22 and why like a piece of cork at minute 9:34 why? Thanks for such an interesting video.
For tuning puposes. Read Music Medic's guide on crescents.
@@tamasfoldesi2358 Good afternoon, I'm from Brazil, I read this musicmed crescent guide and I didn't understand much, could you help me?
Sorry for the mistakes, I'm using Google Translate
I have a Selmer MkVI It" berbils" on low e What causes this ? Can it be fixed ?
That's usually "pad leaks" situation, but what I would do I will begin with detecting leak at the neck tenon to follow the routines. So a quick fix so far.
@@lambshelter Hello! I figure I didn't switch accounts when I was logged in as my band account. DO bring your VI to a local shop and refer to my comment!
Gréât, what the songs name please ?
Is that checking for air leakage ? at 1:49 ?
Yes, he has blocked off the tone holes and using air pressure. £500 piece of kit.
Watch for the soundtrack
Why no re-lacquer or at least a compounding polish, since it was completely disassembled? How much was charged for the adjustment & re-pad?
On vintage Selmer saxes the original lacquer is prized by some players. There is a feeling that if you buff and re-lacquer them the sound will change.
I get it, it's the patina thing, I wouldn't think it can actually alter the sound though, my VI looks brand new, it's been babied since day one..
Before you can re-lacquer you have to strip the old lacquer and buff the body and keys. When you remove metal you can't put it back. Thinner brass sounds and responds differently. When you spray new lacquer on it may go on thicker which will also change the tone/response. How much of a change for better or worse can only be measured in the eyes and ears of the beholder ...but I mention it because I've met many players and just as many repair techs that will never have a great playing vintage horn refinished...unless there is barely any lacquer left.
O.k., I can see that, that's why I never let my horns get beat-up, I religiously clean and wipe them down after every session, there pristine as the first day I purchased them, same goes for my flutes, like everything else in life preventive care, goes a long way. Here's one for you, my drummer friend after he buys new Zildjian cymbals, he puts em' outside until they get a certain patina, then he claims they "age" outside giving him the sound that he's looking for. Amazing....Thanks for the info,,,
If you re-lac a horn you just cut the value almost in 1/2. The main reason is you loose the original factory setup...often the horn will need at least 1000 USD in work. You will loose some or all of the engraving. Also the sound may brighten a bit. Sometimes tone holes get buffed too much causing surface to be wavy or uneven and never seal pads the same as original.
안녕하세요? 혹시 넥 구경 확장하는것 어디서 구할수 있는지 알수 있을까요? 이베이 찾아 봐도 없더군요.
친절한 전화 문자답변 감사합니다.
It couldn't be better.
I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this. Glad to see that you are applying your skills from when we were in school, this truly brightened my day. I hope all is well!
Ryan Booth He didn’t even wash the horn..? Which school considers not washing a horn for an overhaul...?
위치좀 알켜주세요.
Mehaaaa
What about the process of washing the horn in a warm ultrasonic bath...? Steam cleaning the horn to remove grit and particles....? And removing old oil before new oil is applied...? It’s just as important if not more than the steps you’ve shown...
Momish in New York, they know how to do a proper overhaul. Like Perry Ritter at 71 West 47 street room 704. The guy only works on saxophones. He starts fixing saxophones when most people are sleeping. He starts at 6:00 A.M...!!! Most work is done on the same day too. Prices are reasonable and it’s just one person working on your horn.
i want to be that saxophone
