Hi folks, I have a boosey and hawkes tenor and it needed pads cork springs everything so I wasnt willing to tackle this myself, Ive repadded one of my saxophones myself, but it only needed new pads, and as such a complete overhaul was in my opinion out of my limited capacity at this stage in the game. I paid for a complete overhaul and it just doesnt play right, Ive had it back 4 times now, a round trip to the tech is 120kms, and now Im just gonna give up taking it back because Im getting peeved. The problem is as follows it plays nicley except for D5 that is thumb octave key and "111 111", it just sounds muffled, If I do scales all notes around it sound perfect e5 and c5 but d5 is just wrong, d4 isnt too bad it was muffled a bit to start with but after 4 return trips and the c4 key opened up as much as it will go, Ive given up. c4 isnt the best sounding either. The tech has turned around and said now that its a problem with the intonation of the horn and not anything else because all pads are sealing fine.
