Clean, Oil and Adjust (COA)

A professional COA is the single most important service for keeping your flute in top playing condition and every flute should have a COA once a year. The procedure involves complete disassembly of the instrument. The body, headjoint and footjoint are thoroughly cleaned and polished. The keys are cleaned as well as possible without disturbing pads and bumpers. Springs are tested and replaced if necessary.* The head cork is tested and replaced if needed. All pads and bumpers are examined and replaced as needed.* All mechanisms (including rods, rod screws, pivot screws, rollers and hinge tubes) are cleaned and oiled. Pads are re-shimmed as required to cover with a light touch. Key to key adjustment, key height and lost motion are all regulated to exacting standards. The instrument is then thoroughly play-tested for confirmation and re-adjusted as necessary.

Mechanical Restoration

Often times flutes that have seen many years of play, have been in long-term storage or have not received regular maintenance, will require a full mechanical restoration in order to play properly. With this procedure the instrument is completely disassembled, including pinned sections. The body, headjoint, footjoint and all of the keys are thoroughly cleaned and polished. Dents are removed for cosmetic, acoustical and mechanical considerations as needed.* Tone holes are corrected as needed and faced true. Springs are tested and replaced if necessary.* The head cork is replaced and adjusted. All pads and bumpers are replaced with the highest-grade materials. All mechanisms (including rods, rod screws, pivot screws, rollers and hinge tubes) are cleaned and oiled. Keys are refitted as needed on student model instruments and to exacting tolerances on professional quality instruments.* Pads are seated to cover with a light touch. Key to key adjustment, key height and lost motion are regulated to exacting standards. The instrument is then allowed to set, re-examined for regulation, and thoroughly play-tested for confirmation.

Overhaul

Our pro shop overhaul is the job that we recommend for all true professional horns as well as all Selmer Paris saxophones. This overhaul includes all of the work from the standard overhaul with the several major upgrades..

Diamond Tone Hole Resurfacing

Many saxophones have tone holes that are not perfectly level. With our Pro Overhaul, we use our diamond tone hole leveling equipment to make sure that all tone holes are perfectly flat throughout the sax. With a perfectly flat tone hole, we are able to use a higher end, firmer pad. The firmer pads allow for more solid key action & response and typically allow for better projection.
