Repairman's Overview: Selmer Radio Improved Alto Saxophone

Salingeresque sax repair techno-poet Matt "One Take" Stohrer of http://www.StohrerMusic.com comes out of seclusion after a long hiatus. Now in a new repair shop, with a new camera setup, he runs the bad gas straight through the engine and gets at least halfway back in the game with a fast-talking Repairman's Overview on this relative rarity, an original silver plate Selmer Radio Improved alto saxophone.

Seriously though, I was a bit rusty but just decided to go deep and get a big video out the door to shake things loose and get moving again. Hopefully its not too awful. More to come shortly as I get back in the habit of making videos.

CORRECTION: The geared octave mechanism is not restricted to only Radio Improved saxophones, and not all Radio Improved saxophones have it. See here:    • Repairman's Overview Correction: 1930...
