Adolphe Sax #36-Tone Holes

We have started working on the tone holes and they are truly in terrible shape. The way they are right now they are not level, will never be level, and will never have a pad seal. We had a lot of work to do!

 

We had to make a decision: Should we replace the tone holes and the liners? Should we work with what is there? Or should we repair the tone holes and replace the liners? We chose to go with the latter, because this way we can keep the original parts while still restoring the horn to a functional state.
