Hi everyone,
Recently, I became unable to play in the lower octave on my saxophone. I believe that this was due to a lack of space between the neck octave ring and the post which extends from the body. This resulted in a leak in the neck. I brought it in to my local repair shop, and they had to use pliers to bend the post back. Is this proper procedure? At this point, the bent post is driving me insane. Every other part on the horn is essentially in brand new, perfect condition.
Is/was there any other way to fix the problem I was having? If so, is there a way to order a replacement pole?
Thanks
