week 13

This was a flute key. I took the arm off and I'm going to make a pearl protector out of it! (for saxophone work)

I took the threaded part out too that was in the middle, where the screw goes in, so it's not sticking out.

Now, this is just a brass rod that I silver soldered to the flute key (notice that the key is now convex too)

Another angle, this looks pretty cool.

This is Ben's rod and key compared to mine (his wasn't finished and I had forgotten to take more progress pictures)

And a picture of my dirty saxophone.

What is that? It's the glue that keeps the body glued (and sealed) to the bow of the saxophone. I wonder if the tuning will change if I manage to scrape some of that out..
