If you get the chance...

If you get the chance, buy a knackered old sax for a tenner and take it to bits.

Maybe I'm a bit weird, but I found it fascinating; and within three days found myself using the skills I'd learned to repair my proper sax.

Good call, and you may even end up with something playable. I'm an inveterate tinkerer, but will only go so far on my nice saxophone, so it would be good to get my hands on something that didn't really matter if I made a mess of it.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Yes, a very good idea. Emergency repairs are often vital. Dismantling and mantling a horn are great way to start learning.

Where would be a good place to look for knackered horns on which to perform potentially horrifying experiments?
