Bruce Bailey here on SOTW forum has added some front F keys to old TT horns, if my memory serves. Look through the Buescher forum and you will find many posts by him. Send him a PM, or a email. Sometimes he posts a phone number where he can be called.

There are many sax restorers who make custom key fabrication as well. Try TENORMADNESS and WORLDWIDE SAX for starters, as both have large web sites. Also try a Google search for Sax Custom Keys, or some variation thereof.

Apologies to Bruce for suggesting him if he is not interested.

I just bought a Buescher True Tone from Bruce that he overhauled and it is amazing!! If he is interested I would definately recommend him for the job!

The ones I have doen are sopranos where a clarinet A key is used. Is it a whole setup you are trying to do or do you just need the part that connects? I find it is easier to just finger A2 and touch the F palm key. Does the same thing without all the worl. To put this on an alto would be too much $$$. I would guess it could run over $200 and still not look factory correct.
Thanks for the kudos Oshawya!

Thanks Bruce for the reply.Its the cross lever that I need the F key is there and the posts are on the body I just dont have the link lever or pivot screw.It is for the gold plate alto that I am rebuilding.Getting one made is not a problem I thought that I would ask if anyone had a spare part first
