Tech/maintenance I did it! 😂😉🎷

[teen37]

So my neck cork came loose last week and I managed with by being careful when fitting my mp.
But I decided to tackle replacing it once my new corks arrived yesterday.
So, armed with @Stephen Howard Haynes manual i got to work. It was a bit nerve wracking as I haven't done any repairs on my horn before. Give my an angle grinder or stihl saw or road breaker or any construction power tool and I'm away 🤔👷😂

but this was more on the delicate side 😳😂

But I managed moderately well I think all thanks to @Stephen Howard Haynes manual 🙏🙏🙏

Stephen you're a star 🌟🙌😘

Took me a tad longer than I thought and I've never used contact adhesive before, boy is it sticky 😅😂
Got there in the end after a fair bit of sanding ☺️👍🎷

If ever you are thinking of it, discuss with our member techs here, they will offer support if they can.

Well done, top job.

I noticed the O. Link Tonemaster. My mistake, but I presumed you were talking about having a metal Link - which might be why some questioned the mouthpiece as being possibly problematic for low notes - being a little harder to get on top of than the 4C for many. But being the Tonemaster I shouldn’t think it is too different to play.

Hang on! Did you put a scratch on it?

Naughty!

Masking tape is a DIYers friend (like it says in the book!).

See me after playtime!!

It ain't rocket-science and it ain't voodoo. Something every sax player should know how to do. I'm sure you'll want to do even more... as soon as you get a bill from a tech.

Seriously though, well done!

Yes i agree as long as teen37 doesn't use the angle grinder, Stihl saw and the road breaker she will be fine.
