Do you have a Selmer Cigar Cutter alto?
Great!
I need help to get the correct measurments on the neck and the body octave pip.
This thread explains why:

I need all the help I can get to save that poor horn.

What is the total lenght of the body octave pip? For best result: Insert a thin object, like a toothpic or a needle into the octave pip and take a close look from above to see when it's fully inserted.
Neck is easily measured by a measuring-tape. Under the neck, following the necks curves. Over the neck, following the necks curves. Also across the neck, from the neck tenon directly to the neck opening. I'd also need the diameter of the opening of the neck.

Thanks in advance.

That is a beautiful horn!

I measured the overall length of the pip at 0.235. It BARELY protrudes into the tube of the Sax at all.

The dimensions of the neck are as below.

Thank you very much kind sir! Your my hero for today!
It's great to have the right dimensions of the neck and octave pip now.
Would you mind taking a photo from the inside of the body tube so that I can see how it looks on your sax?

 

[Bkenes]

Alright... the neck is missing approximately 0.5 inches in length.

Thanks Have you measured your octave pip as well? Does it protudes into the body as little as Toms octave pip?
Small ring around the end will be too short of an extension unfortunately.
