These are more involved. The inner sleeve of the neck needs to fit tight on the inside diameter of the body tenon. The collar on the neck goes around the "tenon" on the body tube and prevents it from rotating. What you're fitting is the inner tenon on the neck to the ID of the tenon on the body tube. The outer sleeve is not used for airtightness, it's just used to keep the neck from rotating as the player is playing. Hope this help!
Hi, when I am testing for a leak in that area without any specialty tools, I should be play testing with the neck attached but without tightening the neck screw, and then do the same when I apply the teflon tape. Am I correct to say that?
Sounds like it's time to have it fit! Tenons can become out of round quite easily on instruments that are played all the time, especially if the material is a little thinner like on the vintage Selmers.
The most important repair video for me this year because I always have this problem with my saxophones. Thanks.
Glad to help!
A beautiful demonstration.
Thank you guys!
Our pleasure thank you!

A repair shop without cork grease??? I like the teflon method, it has less clean up. Nice video guys!

How’s about king super 20 double wall necks? Just expand the body side tenon?
