Hi All - I was having a few 'sqeak' issues (especially on the C# or C to D Jump...and mainly when the sax was cold) and I suspected a leak. So I took it to a techie for some advice and when he saw the state of the pads, which were quite dark and discoloured, he recommended a full overhaul. Anyway, despite the quoted price (AUS$600), I gave him the go-ahead. I am now sax-less (having not succumbed to the dreaded GAS that seems to afflict so many on this forum 🙂) for the next week or so until I get it back. I'll let you all know how it goes. Cheers, David
