Nice job despite Oliver's concerns. Used to solder quite often making stained glass pieces. Sometime ago.
We call these the "third hand", and are very handy with electronic building.
My maternal grandfather was apparently a sax man, he played with Georgie Fame but he passed long before I was thought about so never knew him, my maternal uncle is a fantastic guitarist and I do like the tinkle on the ol' bones meself and currently relearning how to play piano on a vintage Yamaha keyboard I fixed up :)
Oliver found a worthy friend in you Keith.
Is it steam powered?
Excellent!!!! Thank you for posting it
I half expected and would have liked a musical demonstration from Oliver to finish this video.
Must add too a thanks for this weird grey "champion" bread from Yorkshire I get from Waitrose, thoroughly enjoyable sitting here with my huge mug of Yorkshire tea "biscuit brew" and a healthy tuna salad sarnie with emphasis on the green stuff made with this grey looking bread. My youngest daughter is now nicking my biscuit brew so going through loads of the bloody things, so if you see tea executives driving around in brand new Bentley's, its prob down to the biscuit brew bonanza cos I does like a cup o' char, its my only vice left apart from cats and my fancy ecig.
Problem's with saxophone repairs is the melt point of brass. If the wrong solder is used the brass will 'melt' before the solder softens. Soft solder is often employed or a low melt point silver solder. The two posts should ideally have been aligned with the hinge rod in place prior to soldering the broken post back into position but......terrific job on that old, mid 60s. German sax.
Saxes are soldered with soft solder. Silver solder shouldn't be used as it needs too much heat and can cause other parts to fall off. You should flatten a small piece is solder put it between the body and the post. Then none is visible.
Even 0000 wire wool is too coarse. Just use a silver cloth. And patience.
what kind of solder do you mean by soft solder? I understand that the solder that was used---- stay brite IS a soft solder, despite the low % of silver. It is not silver solder until you get up to the solders w/ 45% or 56%. I am struggling to get answers to figure out what I'm doing.... so if you can give clarification it would help. I get the part of what you said about putting flattened solder in the joint, so it is not visible. That is a great point. You are clearly someone I'd like to hear from, about specific solder you would use. I am trying to work with steel & galvanized steel wires in art... (& may do some welding too... but want to do some tack like soldering)
Brass instrument repair, another string to your bow.
Stay Brite is what you get over here when you ask for silver solder.
Sn - 96%
Ag - 4%
Solidus 430°F
221°C
Liquidus 430°F
221°C
Recommended Joint Clearance 0.002"-0.005"
As you can see it is only 4% silver not good for boiler work but handy, I think the flux is a general purpose zinc chloride flux
I was hoping you were going to turn the old saxophone into a boiler.
Was he pleased with the results ?
Yes, I think so. He was more pleased that I showed him how to do the soldering part of the repair job.
That looked like Muriatic Acid in that bottle , very good for soldering, just don’t breathe the fumes when heating.
I got some on my hand before and it felt like a red hot needle piercing skin. What's even more bizarre is what happens if you spill some on ordinary dirt, it creates these little ant hole looking things. And yes the fumes are horrible!!!
Zinc chloride I think
is that a classic rare King tenor saxofone ? if so iam gonna give yall a hard heavy spanking . it hurts my eyes as a sax player hurting such a classic rare horn
