Ok so the latest project is done,  and its a real sweetheart of a horn. 

This soprano sax is in the key of C and was made by Martin,  its stenciled "Wurlitzer American".

This isn't the first C soprano I've worked on and I'm happy that this one came out even better than the last.  The tricky aspects for this horn were really the pad sizing.  I used the thinnest pads available and in many cases these were not thin enough and had to be lapped thinner, then of course using only a small amount of shellac so as to not increase the thickness.  Luckily I got all the toneholes perfectly level first so the padding went just fine,  and the horn has that sweet oboe like C soprano sound!
