The tenons were tight and functional but rather scruffy with a makeshift homemade layer of sewing cotton over the thinning cork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894590469-SPNA6EATPHKEJ25JQ59Y/2.jpg Gallery - Bassoon tenon This is how it looked after removing the cork & cotton & whipping with waxed thread. A layer of beeswax is then applied to give it a waterproof smoother finish.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894249696-S2T8S46PJR684XDZ1A3Z/3.jpg Gallery - Alto sax neck Dreadful case of ‘pull down’ on this school alto saxophone. So bad the tenon had actually come off and was still stuck in the body of the sax https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894264944-88IS6UEB7YUE1CKNQMFQ/4.jpg Gallery - Alto sax neck Back up and useable again https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533902039848-9O2EGV9C79C3GOBV5TKE/20170202_141840.jpg Gallery - flute overhaul This flute has not been played for 35 years. The customer now wants to give it to his great granddaughter to learn on - a lot of elbow grease & hardly recogniseable! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894424511-KIAQM2E957UXDSP1DNHF/9.jpg Gallery - flute foot joint Another flute repair - this one had been stood on! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1532661847458-F7T6BJDQDCPY1DJUNF3R/1c.jpg Gallery - Tenor sax neck This vintage saxophone was an ebay buy & came in for an overhaul, unplayable & with a rather untidy home done solder repair to its neck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1532661850251-AA0COBKHX9NCD0PURPVZ/2+copy.jpg Gallery - Tenor sax neck Although it was solid repair it was unsightly, so I chose to remove the plate, clean it up & re - solder in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894972675-HQKAW8707EITZBZ7ZF4N/5.jpg Gallery - Tenor sax neck There is always an amount of lacquer damage when heat is applied. Bearing in mind the extent of old solder there was to clean off I reckon the finished repair looks much tidier . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533894977890-PKMH4BLNRTC8KGH0UDSQ/6.jpg Gallery - Tenor sax neck give it a few weeks as the brass dulls off it will blend better with the existing finish & become less obvious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1534776961764-0349BZU8Y7F713MS9M4C/11.jpg Gallery - Trumpet bell dint repair Another school trumpet - not sure how it sustained this amount of damage but it was a bit of a mess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533900862051-GKVXZLNCWUE71LDYMMRL/13.jpg Gallery - Trumpet dint repair many school cornets & trumpets come in for servicing sporting dents & creases. it’s one of my favourite jobs to tackle - straightening them out & sending them back looking very different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533900888533-XNB3TTWCSFRS57RXGA1J/14.jpg Gallery - Trumpet dint repair still one or 2 ‘bruises’ & the lacquer tends to crack on cheaper instruments where the brass has twisted, but a whole lot better than it was looking! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b57beb336099b456b087818/1533901982174-KPH2PJAM4KO2C38MG92J/clarinet+service+-+before+%26+after.jpg Gallery - Clarinet overhaul This B&H wooden Regent was made in the early 1950’s. it has decent keywork & a quality wooden body.
