My worst experience: I picked up my saxophone from a complete overhaul and headed further to a gig. Somebody kicked it on stage and it fell down. The belly was bent. I had to bring it back to the repair shop again after the gig… Another overhaul was necessary.
Trying to play a frozen sax must have been a nightmare! You asked for it, so here are my 2 alto unpleasant gig experiences: I was playing at a posh hotel celebration, but I didn't have much practice time for 3 days before the gig & my embouchure was weak. During one song the film crew documenting the event came to do a close-up of my face, just when my embouchure gave out. Very embarrassing. The other incident; During my solo on "Lily Was Here" the F pad popped off (onto the floor) so I had to finish the solo (and the head) playing only notes above G. I found some super glue, and finished the set. -- Recently (story with a good ending) I was asked to do flute back-ups on a recording with a vocalist. The day before the session my flute stopped playing any notes below F. That evening at a party I mentioned my predicament and a friend of my daughter said she could loan me her flute (that she hadn't used for years.) I was overwhelmed when she gave me the flute: a Sankyo Sonic -- the nicest flute I have ever played. I was on cloud 9, and the recording session went really well.
I only have one real saxophone horror stories and a couple of minor mishaps.
In 2020 during lockdown, I decided to get a straight soprano sax as I had wanted to play the soprano sax for a long time. I bought a one piece Conn-Selmer straight soprano. I played that for a while, then one day I was swabbing it out and the cloth I was using, only had one string, not one with pull strings at both ends. I got it stuck tight in the neck of the saxophone. I could not get it out. Stupid me decided to try and cut a bit off with scissors so it might pull out easier.
What did I end up doing? I scratched the very edge of the round metal bit above the neck cork, and I also managed to slightly scratch the inside of the neck. Not only that, but I hit the side of the bell on my office chair arm and dented one side of the bell.
I contacted my repairer and luckily they were doing repairs at their home, but given what was going on at the time, for hygiene sake, I had to wait longer to have it looked at. I luckily managed to get it mostly sorted. The bell repair fixed the dent in the bell, but it damaged the lacquer on that part and that was a little noticeable. I have never done that again and will never ever go near a saxophone with scissors again. I also have a soprano sax body swab with a string at both ends so I can't get it stuck in the saxophone again.
The minor issues I have had was: scratching the table of my Selmer S80 C** with a Francois Louis Ultimate ligature plate (never used those ligatures again and I was lucky it wasn't an expensive mouthpiece), broke off the screw from a silver plated BG Duo ligature and broke off the neck screw in the tenon on my Yamaha YAS-280, both from over tightening the screws. I am always now careful about not tightening screws too much to prevent them breaking.
Careful about curved blades. Oboe players know all the details about it. Pocket knife is NOT a reed knife.
