"The entire Bb/G#/F# area of a sax is by far the most difficult to get right...."
Thanks so much guys for the advice. Have indeed sorted the problem. Only thing is now that the bottom Bb is not sounding. I believe there is double action going on (as in the bottom C# pad/key linked to the G# depress) - it is raising slightly. Can't quite alter the screws minutely to get a fine balance. Oh well, at least the main stay of the horn is now working, and sounding beautiful.
Now, if anyone has a spare Yamaha 62 tenor crook hanging around, fancy selling it? Have tried a 62's crook on it and it opens up the sound a touch more.
Have been told if I order here in the UK, it will take from 3 to 6 months to arrive.
Great. Not.
