So I am understanding that Pads can be too squishy like they sometimes are on a Bundy or too hard like they sometimes are on a Yamaha 23
If I am not mistaken, hard but not too hard pads such as the Precision pads offered by Music medic help create fast action.
They required a level tone hole.
On the question of pads and toneholes I have a question; If I level a tone hole, is it not better that I change the corresponding pad for in all liklihood the old pad, creased as it has been by the old tonehole, will not seal tight over the now level tonehole.
I return to a question I had in one of my first threads; namely it is possible to improve the quality of a Yamaha 21-23 over how it was after leaving the factory and its pre-delivery inspection by doing special tender things such as leveling the tone holes and replacing the corresponding pads?
Presumably the low b flat would play a little more pianissimo and enchanting and also over more time before the instrument begins to go out of regulation.
Said differently the question is, can the saxophone restorer claim in some cases that his student level restored horns are better in some respects than how there were when first purchased?
Each of the five non professional horns I over the past year restored had many uneven tone holes.
I can only presume they left the factory this way.
