First I request excuses by the language. I write with a translator.
I have a sax C-melody Conn 165xxx. The neck is not complete. It lacks a piece in the neck. I work the metal and want to make the piece. I need aid to know the measures. I send a sketch through email. And your complete measures that I need for the manufacture. I do not try to construct to microturner functional. I will obtain the refining moving through cork. But I want that the end is most similar to the original one.

Thanks for its aid.

woodpecker, is the problem the microtuner? If so, then http://www.shwoodwind.co.uk/HandyHints/ConnMicrotuner.htm could be useful.

It appears that he is missing the microtuner and wants to make it a fixed neck type. I would look at ebay for a whole new neck.

Yes, I think the best option is to find a junk horn on ebay - for this model it shouldn't be too expensive.

Very good page ukebert , thanks.
I want to make a piece metallic and soon weld it to the neck. I need the measures x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6 and d1,d2 and d3. I also need the length of the tube where the mouthpiece is connected
