  • sticksrossi may have some valid points however does not express with proper communication skills..... No class..... Keep doing what you're doing Billyboy.

  • Well, he actually has no points. His objections are not thought out and he doesn't see the simple solutions to the points he brings up---and I don't think he's really tried this procedure and seen the long term benefits of it. This procedure does not work on straight pivots but 1. they can be easily and quickly altered and 2. most players who see this vid have tapered screws. My sense is he's afraid such a great solution done by the player will cause him to lose business. But I could be wrong.

  • If he knew what he was talking about he would be grateful for such a terrific method of silencing pivot screws that will save him an enormous amount of bench time, makes the clarinets, saxophones and bassoons he works on much quieter for six or seven times longer and can easily and quickly be repeated when needed. In other words, it would make his work easier, quicker and better---Alas, no good deed goes unpunished.

  • Tom, this trick just saved me a lot of frustration and money. I had a worthless tech try to do something to fix this today-- he tried to make a little plastic washer from some tubing. It was awful. He handed me the clarinet to play and it was unplayable. Just like when you get a bad haircut and tell the guy "it's fine" so he'll stop, I just smiled and went home and fixed it myself. Thanks for your info and all your videos!

  • Thanks, Tom for posting techniques that clarinetists can actually do at home and are dependable w/o cost of expensive equipment. I had my clarinet adjusted to get all the metal to meet metal thus being more silenced and you are right....it does not last and it cost money and time away from your clarinet.

  • you have issues you probaly haven't had a date in 175 years

  • WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Thanks, Billyboy!!! You saved my marriage, my children respect me now, and even the cats like me better!!! Seriously, though, this is a great idea. It's less intrusive than other options available, and if your correct, it'll probably last until the cows come home!

  • I was reveling in the joy of a nice slice of bread and- then came you!! This is the greatest tip ever,I have 4 Saxes to get to!!!

  • lol
