Re-pad using the highest quality imported leather pads
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

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.
