This week in the lab, we returned to our clarinet tenon remake. So to finish it off, we turned the tenon down to size and turned a groove in it to accept the tenon using our uber bits. The tenon was corked and it looks good.
We continued looking at the mechanics involved in the saxophone by disassembling the octave mechanism. It may only have a few parts to it but it is quite the complex little lever, controlling two different keys and filled with lost motion.
We spent Friday revisiting our clarinets and flutes from last semester. We had one day to do a play-condition repair on both of them. They didn't need much work, some of the pads had lost their seat and one of the keys I had flexed at the end of the day had moved back. I ran through each of them and gave them a few tweaks.
Next week we get our project saxophones. Stay tuned.
