Greetings and all the best for 2026🎶🙏 anyway lm working on my first Cannonball Saxophone, an alto, being in Darwin with a small population and smaller professional music scene l generally only see student quality saxophones. Anyway lm just wondering if anything specific and particular about working on these instruments given that they are highly engineered and designed! Anyway lots of basic issues with mould and corrosion given the weather in Darwin ie hot and humid, but lovely detail to design and finish with this instrument and lm looking forward as always to getting it up and working again. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions about particular aspects to the Cannonball when working on it, thx cheers.
Have added some before photos of the body with everything removed! lots of grime and rusty springs and elbow grease to look forward to!
