Dear Flo:
A week after watching your video on sax repair, my tenor slipped out of its stand
and bent two of the top rod support posts very slightly but to the point where it
was obvious I wasn't going to get the same sound out if it as before.
Fortunately, however, by following your troubleshooting techniques, I was able to
disgnose the problem and share it with the repair tech. He seemed quite surprised
that I had figured it out for myself, so thanks a million for a great video. BTW,
the repair guy said my analysis saved him some labor time which in turn ended up
saving me some money!

Hey Flo, Your email, saying you created this new video, could'nt have come at a better time! For no obvious reason my Alto had just started to develop several strange squeeks and my lower register notes no longer came out correctly. Using your system of steps I quickly (and to my own amazement) discovered a small valve, related to my octave key, wasn't closing. A sping had come lose. So I used a pen to push the tip of the spring back in its place and now my Alto sings again!
In short: You totally saved my a 2 hour trip to my rapair man plus expenses!
Thank you for a great system! I'm confident it will save my ass many times more in the future!
