How many hours does it take an experienced technician to do a repad?
Let's assume that they are also tightening the mechanism l and there are no grave problems.
Over the last year I have repadded 5 saxophones. In each case, I got to play the low b flat with a ‘pianissimo and entrancing tone’ this being jbtsaxes criterion for a completed job.

I believe I spent close to 300 hours on these saxophones, adjusting pads till I almost went out of my mind but enjoying myself all the same.
Without having practiced in this manner I would not be able to appreciate the help I am receiving in this forum
I would like to know how long experienced members take to do a repad so as to have an idea of my relative ineffectiveness
Perhaps in a way the world could be divided between those who practice and those who don’t to, the extent one can meaningfully divide the world .
I can only assume that those who love to practice love to learn.
In my case saxophone repair has enriched my life with many pleasant hours of research into the nature of this bewitching instrument.
I am a player so I have some idea of what I am aiming for…
