Paul O'Neil and his daughter Victoria from Cambridgeshire are the first to arrive at the barn. They have brought a silver tenor saxophone, which belonged to Paul's mother, Veronica O'Neil. She was a professional sax player who travelled the world performing in the 1930s and 1940s and was highly regarded in the music industry. Paul and his family treasure not only the saxophone but also its weathered leather case. Paul's parents did much of their courting sitting on the case as they prepared to wave goodbye at train stations. Victoria is also a sax player and dreams of playing her grandmother's pride and joy. They hope that musical instrument expert Pete Woods can bring the tarnished and dented treasure back to life. Pete calls on leather expert Suzie Fletcher to restore the case, and together they work miracles.

Such a great group of restorers
Replating...you killed it
totally agree. They missed the point. The patina is gone. They should have only restore the musical side of it. What a pitty.
you put it on the stand the wrong way lol
Makes you wonder how much of an expert he is.
Reduced its value by 40% with the replating.
