    Tech/maintenance Pain in the neck! Not mine, the sax's

    Do you put anything on the neck? Inserting it into the sax body is a little tight, but removing it is even tighter, maybe due to expansion of the metal?) I read an article about cleaning the neck inside with vinegar, but wondered if it should be very lightly oiled or... nothing?

    Tech/maintenance Neck tenon fit

    I just got a new sax, and I have a question about the way the neck fits into the body. With the screw loose, the neck slides down into the body fairly easily and rotates freely when it is all the way down. It is loose enough that I can wobble it around a little too. However, as soon as I...

    Hello Cafe! I have a Yamaha Tenor 62 and am in general quite pleased with it. However, I was looking for a more jazzy sound (think Coltrane) from it. Would a custom neck or mouthpiece help?
