I'd like to thank everybody for the suggestions written. The intention of this thread is not to "hunt Burton" OK... I could change my ID from CONN-hunter to "Burton-hunter" but people, we use to say here on this side of the ocean... "he is shooting on his own leg" with his practices.
I can't stand quiet. What Eric and I are showing and telling is truth. Now I have confirmation from Eric that the serial number really matches. I still can't believe. The shape of the sax is too bad, too bad.
It had new Pisoni pads.They are all gone! the sax had a great lacquer, gone. Lance didn't like it and criticized it but , it was MY instrument.
I sent a perfect playing Tenor sax and got after more than 2 1/2 years a piece of garbage , with the same serial number!!
here is what the technician in California told me about this horn after an examination, since I love this sax sooo much that I wished because I wished to get it playing again!!
I kept contacting and his last eMail was this one on 5/13th
and, I will not go to saxophone oasis of LOB to read sh.... It is for me a saxophone hell, not an oasis.
What he did on this horn has no explanation.
Bringing together all the facts and informations about him I don't know what to fell,... angry or compassion.
He doesn't repent. He doesn't admit his guilty. It's hard to deal with.
The other customers who have their horns in the "Oasis Garage" are now breathing new hope due to this very thread. Expecting he will push the bottom.
Unfortunately, when he pushes the bottom the results are even worse.
What a nightmare.

this tech doesn't know LB and was not informed about the saga.Gilson,
I'm sorry are path couldn't have met earlier. And I'm sorry for your loss. I would take this project on but, don't think you would want to spend that much money on refurbishing this tenor back into a tenor saxophone. You could go out an purchase a new one for what it will take too strip off all the solder this butcher did, not to mention Removing the F# tone hole and thumb rest.
Is this person a auto body repair tech???
Take on this horn would be like building a saxophone. I don't have the time and I'm sure you don't want to spend the money to do it.
Sorry,
DT

Now, the serial number IS the same.The horn is a real reck and you are missing keys, thumb rest and F# key, tone hole stack.
Wish I could help you out more,
All The Best,
