Bro is jamming on the shambadoodle🔥🔥
Wasn't that a bit aggressive repairing? 🌸
That looks like a British baritone, not a Kaiser baritone. Kaiser baritones have an oval shape, a curved bell and rotary valves.
Conn wins!
absolutely lovely! I was looking to grab a Buffet Super Dynaction Tenor Sax and was wondering what kinda price point you would recommend hovering at?
Good work Homie keep up the good work.i miss watching that Sax Cat play at the lost leaf .. #luvphx

Dude, you are a magician! Amazing work!
I can't decide, do I like the overhauling or the playing? Both were awesome, thanks for sharing.
The Conn 30M Connqueror is off-the-chain insane! 🎶🎷
Very nice video. The technician clearly is extremely passionate and cares about his work. When he had the sax in the oven I thought it was in a refrigerator lol. Would love to get a Selmer Mark VI someday. Must be very difficult to completely overhaul one and to get it playing better than new.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. I’d like to see what happens with a hairline leak. Thin strip of paper on the Eb. Enjoyed you work on Breaking Bad. th-cam.com/video/0C9UZsdJ_-k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q1MMoA2y2kuI4HWL
Thanks for the video
We need more of these highly skilled crafts people, they keep our beloved horns alive. Respect & many thanks. I like the whole discussion & perspective on maintenance and set-up very insightful. Cheers👍🫶
More to come!

Eyyyy eyyyy eyyyyyy!!!!!

Bro played a song on the double-barrel bazooka!
At this point it ain’t a flute lol (Cool Instrument tho)
You should check out some flute choirs. The sound here doesn't do it justice.
Where is this used? A large metro orchestra maybe? College music department?
Tucson Flute Club! & yes Orchestra
pad oven for flutes i've heard of but for saxophones? Looks like your home made pad oven is a refridgerator. do you mind elaborating on the
I have a heat bulb and a humidifier. It gets to about 145 Fereinhight. At 150 fereinheight shellac starts to soften. It holds temp quite well so I turn it off and leave it overnight sometimes. I like a deep seat like the original Selmer pads.
I thought the sax was in a refrigerator too.
I didn’t get to take the full tech path though I think I would have loved it. Seeing your video of some of the procedures took me back to my early opportunities to watch and learn about this fascinating hand-work. It does give me more confidence and assurance. Thank you for making and sharing this video. Your clients and potential customers as well should benefit greatly. May they line up at your door! 🎷😎👍
I appreciate your support!
wonderful playing and phrasing and beautiful tone
Love the sound of the King. I have a 1937 King Zephyr Special alto that just absolutely sings!!! One day I want to get a King Super 20 Silversonic tenor to go along with the alto and my amazing selmer series ii brushed bari and soprano.
Great job🎷
Quanto custa uma tuba dessas ?
Es viejo
Keep practicing
Just a test play to show how the horn sounds.
@@agavemusicaz people just have to say something negative don't they. Very good.
Go Blue, btw.

Very cool Chris this is kick ass.
Rolled stack bumpers are sooooo stable. Love to see you doing that. Plus we ❤️ seeing the awesome green Key Leaves sax key props and stickers on the case.
Yup, big fan of key Leaves! I recommend them to all my clients. I actually sand the cork under the rolled leather sileners so that there's a lot of surface area helping to prevent compression even more.
Pretty hep version of 'Nocturne', brother. Thanks :)
wow. great job

I love watching a surgeon work with that kind of skill. Absolutely wonderful!
Intonation !! 😱😱😱😱😱👎
It's our first video, still learning how to adjust sound levels. Thanks for watching!
Can you show a video of how you make your own post reamers?
This is a tough one. Even after making these reamers for about ten years, if I get even a little sloppy then it wont cut(especially on nickel hinge tubes) so I have to take a deep breath and start over. I'm actually trying to talk a tool maker into making very long reamers in the sizes I need. I also have a Sherline mini lathe that I haven't set up yet that may make it easier. Right now I'm using a bench motor.
@@agavemusicaz first off, I really appreciate you even responding. A lot of techs wouldn’t even bother. I am in a similar boat for trying to up the diameter on hinge rods for old keys who’ve seen a lot of playtime but rely solely on lapping instead of using a reamer. I’ve looked into ones from McMaster & Carr but it’s definitely an investment and I don’t know if it will actually pay off
Mark VI is so “clicky” - I’ve heard better tone on some 6’s, but can’t get over the clicks. The conn sounds incredible.
Really cool to see so up close and personal. Great work. I wonder looking at the way the various bits of a sax are shaped and fabricated. And I'm reminded of what the bits and pieces of a Nagra tape recorder look like. Both high precision, but look very different. What would a sax designed and built by Nagra look like?
I need your address
How does it compare to a Selmer
I would say the Selmers are more expressive and a little brighter. The intonation, durability, and egos are about the same.
@@agavemusicaz Ok. But I prefer the Grassi sound. It is fuller. And it is so we'll built. The precision is better than the selmers of that age.
@@tboy5443 I am loving what is coming out of Italy. Grassi and Borgoni are still being overlooked. Fabulous, well-built saxophones with their own unique quality sound.
@@agavemusicaz . Well the. Grassi Has stop there production Since around year 2000. But Proel Italian bought the right to the Grassi logo. Todays Grassi is being produce in Taiwan. But the vintage Grassi has a big lush full sound.
I am so surprised that pro 2000 has a sound rounder and fuller than the Vi. Somewhere in between Conn and Selmer type of sound.
Seems you’ve mislabeled the tight post fit because it’s still visually loose?
The magnification makes it look worse and the videographer might have gotten the wrong clip. It is tighter now than any brand-new Yanagisawa.
SML Rev.D or Gold Medal?

A sax needs to have level toneholes!!!!!
I have found in the last 5 years that that's actually not true. I once thought this as well. It is extremely important for the tone hole surfaces to be smooth with soft edges and no burs. This is where the seal happens. When the leather meets the brass it needs that smooth surface to seal. This is one of the revelations I made using the Magnehelic to test the whole saxophone after overhauls. On vintage saxophones especially, it is very important for technicians to not remove brass unless absolutely necessary. Those thirty-year-old VI's are now 50 years old and we have to be a lot more careful.
@@agavemusicaz my mark 6 is 60 years old.
@@grantkoeller8911so????😅😅
Great Video! Thanks for posting. What are you listening to in the background? Title of selection and performer?
Hey there! The song is just a free song the videographer chose. In the future, we'll provide song details.
Love the video. Repost without the music. I like to hear the clicking, tapping, etc.
I'll see what I can do.
Why did you keep it in the fridge? Is there any function?
The fridge is a pad oven. I say, "the seal is in the seat". I have a heat lamp and a humidifier in there. It gets to about 140 degrees Fahrenheit. At 150 degrees the shellac starts to melt.
Big thumbs up 👍🏾 on this video! This may very well be the process that is needed on my horns! 😮 I have through changing my own pads, adjusting the neck tenon and cork that my horn plays fantastic for a week or so before it goes back to just being ok!
Wow!…..great video displaying your skills! I am a player who has always been riddled with horn problems! As a result I started tinkering with with my own repairs but, I am fed up with it. Over the years I realize that the neck tenon and neck cork are overlooked areas of response problems! My question is, how to you used the magnemeter to check for leaks in the whole horn?
th-cam.com/video/3K1Qukz60J8/w-d-xo.html Hello, I made another video showing how I use the Magnehelic on a whole saxophone. Link above. It is important to understand that I am the only, or one of the only, technicians that can get a reading on a whole sax using the Magenehelic because the tool is so sensitive and saxophones are so crude. Not even Yanagisawas are this tight brand new without a major play condition. I made this video to let demanding players, such as yourself, know that there are techs like myself that can tame the mechanical nightmare that is the saxophone. I hope you will consider having me look at your sax even if you aren't in Arizona. Here's more information on website about other repairs: www.agavemusicaz.com/saxophone-repair
Love the video ... what is the name of the song / artist playing in the background?
You didn't watch the whole vid did you
Its just a stock song our videographer used but going forward we'll make sure we have that information.
I appreciate your attention to detail. Very nice video!
Thank you
