In my process to send some bits to the newly found UK engraver, I thought of starting a thread for not saxophone playing engravers, with useful information about the saxophone world.
Like:
- Saxophones come in 4 main sizes: soprano, alto tenor and baritone [picture needed]
- Usually engravings are on the bell, nowadays laser engravings. Neck (aka crook) and keys can sometimes be engraved too.
- Body and keys can finished in:
1- Bare brass
2- Gold or silver plated
3- Lacquered (the most common finish)
4- Nickel plated
