Hello there sax enthousiasts...
I found a way to limit my GAS expenses and cravings, and that's to 3D-print Saxophone parts and accesoires. So far its been 3 mpc's (still proto phase) a ligature and a " neck enhancer " (didnt want to pay 80 dollars for a brass ring!)
but tonight I had some more inspiration: next wednesday I'm going to trade my couesnon fixer upper for a fixed upped conn 14M (director/shooting stars non mexico) and this is going to be my marching band fun sax.
I've got several fun ideas (added light effects) but this one is quite feasable in a relative short time...
I'm planning to make a the mechanism or sling? (like and underslung neck?) which transfers the linear motion in X direction from the octave key to an Y motion at the pip.
Im thinknig of making a custom one, maybe with a logo from my band in it or make a custom underslung like a yanisagawa sort of style.. but everything can be possible! maybe even a sideslung mechanism??
do any of you have some cool ideas for a design?
regards
Koen
