I was doing a little repair to my tenor this morning, after dropping her whilst getting her out of the car last night. I thought I had a good grip on the case but no, she slipped from my grasp and landed firmly on the floor! Luckily the only damage (that I can see) is a bent key guard, so I removed it, straightened it and had it back on the sax in no time.
It was whilst doing this repair, that I took a close look at the old girl, and realised just how tired she's beginning to look! Now a new sax would be nice, but alas the budget (nor HWMBO) won't allow it. So I was thinking maybe it's time for the good old stripper to come out? I think if I do strip it, I'll leave the action alone. I quite like the idea of the contrasting silver against the bare brass. I thought I'd post some pictures and lets have a few opinions as to what I should do (I'll do my own thing at the end of the day anyway but hey, I know how much you lot like to express yourselves
