- DIY Saxophone Repairs and Adjustments--essential skills that you never learned in lessons or classes. This video is coordinated with Chapter 7 in my book, The Science and Art of Saxophone Teaching (available as a hard copy at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Outskirts Press and available as a digital copy on Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, The Apple Store iPad/iPhone version, and Outskirts Press).
Good information!
Thanks! I was able to make a quick repair for my gig tonight and I can take it to my tech later.
This is great very useful. I'll purchase your book. Thank You!
Thanks, Ronald! I’m so happy this is useful to you!

You are most welcome!
Very intresting. Thank you
Hi I just cane across your video I wish there were books on this and some dvds on stuff Luke this and how come there isn't a school for repairs of instruments
Mahalo nui loa. I teach here in hawaii, big island. I have been playing Sax and just picked up a student Yas-23. (179794A). This student model is beat! So it will be my first ever over haul. Rods, pads, etc!
Any suggestions?
Kits to purchase, tools to create or acquire before going at it.!? What do you think of the Gu Gu repair kits sold on Amazon?
Is there a web site or a one stop shop that could help facilitate repair needs. (No stores here in pacific)… this goes well I’ll try to start a small clinic helping others!
Mahalo for help. Ps, great video.
Hi Wago, sorry not to reply sooner. I have not known previously about the Gu Gu repair kits. It is certainly inexpensive, but don’t know about quality, but many positive reviews. It may be better than nothing in a remote situation, but it seems to me you would need to have a kit specific to the instrument you are repairing for sizing, etc. It does show a size chart for the pads, so you may be able to check the sizes. The Woodwind Brasswind carries a fair amount of repair tools and materials (wwbw.com). If you do a google search for woodwind repair tools and materials, you will find a lot of resources. Wish you the best with this pursuit!!
Hello gentlemen Ray Smith
I am in French Guiana how can I repair the saxophone. do I have to send it by post?
What name oil and glue? Sorry for my english
Any oil from light sewing machine oil to 20 weight motor oil will work. The glue is called contact cement. Superglue can be used.
@@charlesrsmith7 ok. Thank you
Hello excuse me.
I have an alto saxophone, many days it sounds very bad, so I want my sax repaired, so the one thing I don't know in which country you work?
greetings to you and thank you
The United States
With technicians at $100/hr in NZ, I find it is cheaper to buy another sax. DIY repairers may be met by unforeseen challenges, so beware
