I got a sax with a few selmer domes (but the rest flat metal resos,) they are in the middle, around G - will this affect anything? Why would a tech do this?
You see it all the time,in general the fruit of partial repairs, they change only a few pads and the owner doesn't care too much but only wants the pad to seal and the horn to play. Some people try curing the stuffy notes (or high shrill ones) by interchanging this, but my idea is that this is a wrong approachcoolsax2k7 said:I got a sax with a few selmer domes (but the rest flat metal resos,) they are in the middle, around G - will this affect anything?

its just G#, G, and F (F#) - this is a partial repair? So it had selmer domes before and the tech only left 3? I don't think that makes sense. Or, the selmer domes were added later? Is there a reason for it, response or brightness issues, or was the tech thinking all the other pads would later be changed to selmer domes as well? That doesn't seem to make sense either.milandro said:You see it all the time,in general the fruit of partial repairs, they change only a few pads and the owner doesn't care too much but only wants the pad to seal and the horn to play.
