[QUOTE="AlonW, post: 628851, member: 3783"] Thanks! I managed to get it playing better but still felt like I was having issues so I brought it to tech #2 who said tech #1 had not sufficiently repaired it because there were leaks all over the place. Tech #2 is busy for a while, as is tech #1 (not sure why they didn’t really fix it sufficiently though.) So today I’m hopefully dropping it off at tech #3’s shop, where it will stay for a few days. One of things that makes saxophone challenging is how complex and delicate they are, having the ability to repair them is really a great skill and players rely heavily on techs. It almost makes me want to teach myself how to do complete repairs myself, get all the tools, etc. I would love to be able to since regular maintenance is so important to be able to get the most out of the instrument. Hopefully tech #3 will get everything sorted and I get into playing it for a while. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
