Saxophone Indepth Maintenance Service (COA)

A saxophone that's regularly maintained plays better, lasts longer, and costs less to own over time. This service is designed for instruments in decent condition — not a rebuild, not an overhaul, but a maintenance service to keep your instrument in good playing condition.

The work takes about 10 hours. The instrument is fully disassembled. Every key is cleaned individually by hand, removing the old black abrasive oil that accumulates in mechanisms over time and causes wear. Keys are lubricated, regulated, and key heights are recorded and adjusted for optimal response. Up to five pads are replaced as needed; additional pads are charged at $100 per pad. Neck cork is replaced if needed.
