SAXOPHONE REPAIR SERVICES AG Woodwind Repair

A saxophone overhaul is one of those services that once you do it (and it's done well) it makes sense- and often you can’t imagine ever going back to playing an instrument that is less than perfectly setted-up. 

• The instrument is completely disassembled, the keys and body are carefully cleaned up with mild detergent.
• Tone holes and pad cups are checked on the jeweler's anvil for flatness and level verification. 
• The body tube is checked for proper alignment.
• Minor dent work is done if necessary.
• Hinge tubes and rods checked for precise alignment
• All the keys are adjusted to eliminate any lateral movement.
• New key corks, synthetics, felts, and neck cork are installed.
• New pads are installed and adjusted with shellac. 
• The key's heights are regulated and optimized for intonation, response, and feel.
• The tension of the springs is set according to the customer's preference.
• The Instrument is play-tested.
