Tuesday Tenon Talk

05/18/2026

Monday morning glue talk.

I complain a lot about the state of manufacturing (across all industries) these days. And while I do have my own preferences as a player and technician, I truly try to remain as unbiased as possible.

So in an effort to not be a hater all the time here’s a more positive change we’ve seen recently. This and no more squishy natural cork as crucial adjustment materials!

We see this a lot on new Selmer necks unfortunately. It can make the whole horn feel off but luckily the fix is as easy as replacing the neck cork with enough glue and a good overlap on the seam.

You don’t need any fancy machines to check either. If you notice water running down the neck while you’re practicing, chances are high you’ve got a leaking cork.

Pads like this are dangerous because no matter what the leak light or feeler gauge says, you’ve still got leaks! Not to mention how water proof they aren’t. Water goes straight through to the felt which makes them leak even more! 🫣

Always an excellent day when I get to hang with !

This 70,### Mark VI Bari is the 4th horn (at least..lost count) I’ve rebuilt for Chad over the last few years. We met very soon after I opened shop in PA after a referral during a gig he had with the Philadelphia orchestra.

Chad is the absolute coolest. Teaches at Montclair State University, has been playing on broadway for many years (finally going to see Wicked and hear him play this summer), he’s played on movie soundtracks, recorded an album with Seth MacFarlane on vocals, recorded Wiedoeft on period correct C melody, and so much more. Best of all he is the absolute nicest person to work with.

Couple clips attached to hear the versatility of this European built horn. One with a Berg Larson and one with an S90 180. Saved some of the extra large original resonators in the bell keys too! Otherwise the usual Pisoni Pro pads and seamless metal resonators.

Spending a lot of time rebuilding a unique euro VI bari. 70,### and no mention of “MarkVI” anywhere on it.

Lots of burrs left over on the tone holes where past repairs have taken place. It was about 50% original with some unique resonators in tact.

Schedule update for this summer

As always please reach out with any true emergencies, and please bear with me as I inevitably fall a little behind on everything that’s already on the schedule. Rushing just leads to mistakes and I can’t let the happen!
