Yamaha Alto Saxophone Neck-piece Cork Replacement

Introdução

Through normal wear and tear or rough handling, saxophone corks can become damaged, rendering the instrument useless or operating at diminished quality. This guide will replace a Yamaha YAS-23 alto saxophone cork; however, the size for all alto saxophone neck-pieces is standard, so this repair is applicable to all alto saxophone neck-piece cork repairs.

For optimal performance, saxophones require a well fitting cork. Without this, tone quality will be sacrificed, or the saxophone will cease to function.

I’m usually here for computer guides, I couldn’t believe a sax guide was here! Was overjoyed! Can someone make a Alto Sax full pad replacement guide? I know it’s a big ask! But I have a YAS-23 and it needs all new pads, getting it serviced by a pro is between $700-$850!! But buying pads yourself is as low as $50 or on the high end $200. This seems like a tutorial the world needs to have! Thank you to anyone that even took the time to read this.
