RheubenTalks about the Holton tenor sax

[@jamesgutowski3140]

Thanks for this video! I've been playing a Holton for years and didn't know about some of these.

I just picked up a 1914 Holton tenor can’t wait to try them extra keys thanks for the video very informative!

[@RheubenAllen]

I finally got that one overhauled, it is fun.

[@convolutedexperiment]

Great, thanks for the comprehensive expert knowledge.

[@andrea22213]

Fascinating.
Thanks

Shellac is better for working on the instruments a year after the overhaul. It can be heated and the pad adjusted and the shellac will fill the pad cup where you need it much longer and better than Hot glue. Hot Glue is great when an instrument is new or the overhaul is new. It is down the road that the shellac is better.

HI Rheuben, Do you use shellac or hot glue for repadding. your suggestion will help me a lot. I have loads of folks telling me go for shellac but what is wrong using hot glue, as I have this gun machine and is less messy.... many thanks

This is a Evette & Schaeffer Apogée system tenor. Not a Holton.

[@RheubenAllen]

Then why does it say Holton and not Evette & Schaffer in the logo, I know there were many makers made inst. for other manufacturers at that time, your knowledge is not very complete.

[@glennmcclellan8853]

Holton bought from Carl Fischer the sole US importer of Evette & Schaeffer. It’s a stencil.

[@glennmcclellan8853]

Can you add a picture of the Holton engraving please. This is a fabulous horn.

[@glennmcclellan8853]

The feet on wire guards. The donut hole in D. 3 touch RH pinky table. Duel octave keys all match E & S

I will take a photo tomorrow when I get to my Foundation and post it. Thanks
