Hello Musiclovers!
A couple af weeks ago,I started a thread about I had decided to give my
Mark VI tenor from 1968 a complete overhaul!It took nearly 3 weeks to get the job done,but yesterday I get it back!And I am very,very pleased of the result,because he told me there have been some troublesome repairjob because of earlier repair job that not was done correctly!I bought it 2 years ago, so I dont know about this!The mecanic's are nearly noiseless,no gaps ,and it is
totaly leakfree,and it feels like playing a brand new sax,and I can imaging
how the person who bought it back in 1968 felt when he played it for the first time,wow!
I have a question!When I playing it now I feel a much higher resistance than before,specially in the upper registry,and it feels a little harder to blow with
my Berg metal 110/2,but I can go down to the low notes rather easy!
Is this normal for a complete rebuild sax,and do I have to adjust my embou?
I have to admit that I have not played on my alto during the time for the repairjob,because I have built a new DAW for my homestudio,so I have lost some of my embou!
If someone have some experience of playing a rebuilt sax for the first time,
please give me a reply!
Here are a link to a picture of my "new" sax!
