Tech/maintenance Haynes Saxophone Manual - an update

[Stephen Howard]

You need a plot line involving an international conspiracy to steal a rare saxophone, which is rescued by the hero (you) just in time to save it from being forced to play Baker Street. I’m sure @ProfJames Moriaty could play a role as the villain.

I'd need to see the script, but I know for sure that the line "Look out! He's got a Weltklang!" simply must be in the movie.

Apart from this I have no idea who or what an amber herd is.
@ProfJames, I don't fancy yours much.

You really should quit drinking with the lights off.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it - or at least adding to the existing chapters. Thing is, I don't want to turn it into another year-long+ project...but then again it's better to do it now rather than later.

I have the first edition and would love to see a second one from you!

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to check in and see if this project ever got off the ground.

Also, have you considered using Lulu to publish?

Another thread bump to ask,
'any progress, Mr. Howard?'

t
an interested potential customer
who also has a million projects
he'll get to 'next month'...

I've made a start on it. Just a start though...

Does it include a chapter on “safety in the workshop “?

 

[Stephen Howard]

First chapter, mate!

 

[PigSquealer]

I look forward reading about your use of superglue, suture, duct tape and shellac for fixing unexpected leaks.

Hello, I'd love to place a pre-order if that would help to upfront fund some costs of a print run. In any case I'd love an update of where this project is up to please?
All the best

@Stephen Howard any updates?

 

[Stephen Howard]

Nothing worth reporting as yet!

J'ai reçu aujourd'hui une lettre de confirmation de Haynes m'informant que la « réversion des droits » pour les manuels de saxophone et de clarinette a été effectuée.
Cela signifie que tous les droits sur les livres sont de nouveau entre mes mains. Je suis en train de déterminer précisément ce que cela signifie en ce qui concerne la réédition du manuel de saxophone - et jusqu'à présent, il semble que tant que je n'utilise pas la marque Haynes ou la poignée de photos dont je n'ai pas les droits, je devrais pouvoir publier le manuel à peu près tel quel.
C'est un peu compliqué dans la mesure où la mise en page est leur copyright, donc je cherche à savoir ce que cela signifie. La dernière chose que je veux faire est de publier le manuel et d'être ensuite poursuivi en justice !

J'ai également la possibilité d'acheter les « films » du livre, qui sont en fait les fichiers numériques utilisés avec Adobe InDesign pour mettre en page les livres. Cela serait pratiquement indispensable, à mon avis.

Si le problème se résume à changer les couvertures et quelques pages, il ne devrait pas être trop difficile de remettre le livre en production. Si c'est plus complexe, il faudra du temps pour tout réorganiser.
Je dois également me demander s'il vaut la peine de modifier le contenu. Par exemple, je pense que la force du livre réside dans sa couverture de l'entretien et de la réparation - et que les premiers chapitres sur le choix et l'achat d'un cor sont largement redondants.

Quoi qu'il en soit, des nouvelles passionnantes ! Cela me rapproche beaucoup de la remise en circulation du manuel du saxophone.

bonjour ce livre pourrait il etre traduit en français aussi svp

REally looking forward to this and hoping I can be in the queue to place an order.
One of the posts suggested crowdfunding which I think would be good. An alternative could simply be to ask in the forums for people to express a preorder intent or actually ask them to preorder and see how much you can prefund that way. For example regular price minus 30% for up front orders before publication?
