This man knows what he's talking about. I had a repair man adjust the left hand table. He adjusted it so that the pads closed correctly without leaks, but the left hand table and key travel distance was all out of whack. I was able to fix it myself.
Sliders are generally in parallel in newer instruments from reputable manufacturers, however lesser quality instruments may not be in parallel and we use bending levers to re-orient the key work to parallel.
Okay...so I took all this new found knowledge and went to apply it and got stalled when establishing the parallel-ism of the sliders. I get how you broke down the rods with your drawing but the sliders are not parallel to each other on the horn, so that kind of doesn't make sense. The only thing that makes sense to me is that the sliders should be adjusted to "MOVE" in parallel to each other...I guess?

Great job!
great job teaching a very difficult subject.
9:10 how do we get the sliders paralel? Can You show on the saxophone? Because those flutes didnt made any sense.
