Includes the following:

  • Install your choice of domed plastic resonators or "Star Boosters" (also called Comeaux or Hollywood)

  • Treat pads with a hand rubbed silicone gel water repellant to minimize pad changes  and leather hardening due to moisture and humidity.

  • Install pads using a medium high temperature hot melt adhesive. Adhesive is applied generously so the pad may be "floated" level to the tone hole using a minimal crease. This technique allows who ever repairs this instrument latter to re-float the pad to compensate for hardening of the felt later or distortion of the felt caused by by moisture & humidity.

  • Install neoprene body bumpers under lower joint left F-C and E-B

  • Refit metal connecting pins on lower joint left E-B and F#-C# levers and Install Teflon  tubing over pins as a silencer. (N/A if instrument has plastic connecting pins)

BASS & CONTRA BASS SAXOPHONE

Due to the size, variety of mechanical design and propensity for damage, estimating any work on a bass or contra bass sax is difficult at best. Experience tells us that prices will start at $1500.00 for a mechanical re-build plus cost of supplies
(often largest pads must be custom made & special ordered) plus time at $60.00 per hour to repair damage.
