I don't quite count as a fully qualified tech, but it's a hobby, i love chus and wonder series 1s cos they can be such fun working on aesthetic aspects like plating etc. and also play and sound great.
Some rather loose use of words here, I think.Randall said:My tech, ... says he hates to do dent work on Yamahas due to the hardness (brittleness) in the metal.
What Matt said.abadcliche said:I agree with Gordon's last post, with the addition that I like to work on less common and less well-designed vintage horns just for the challenges they present in getting the horn to feel good under the fingers. Guess I'm a bit of a masochist.
The question was addressed to techs, not highschoolers. Refer to post #1.I love working on Conns, but the only thing I hate, is the octave ket mechanisms. :x Those are a big pain in the a*$ to work on. Especially when most of the ones I have fixed, were bent. Same with bueschers. I love working on them except for the octave key mechanisms. The ones on Selmers are so much easier to fix because of the jointed design.But I like Conn saxophones mroe, so I have to say Conn, but not including the polishing, and Glass bead Blasting, I would have to say that they are equally as much fun.
BTW, Dents are not Fun to take out of Yamahas. I just did what I could to fix a Yamaha Bari and there is still work that needs to be done.
