Custom setups on vintage and modern saxophones |
Tenor Madness has a reputation in the saxophone community for delivering outstanding customized setups on vintage and modern saxophones. If your sax has a recent pad job, but is just not performing up to snuff, it may be a perfect candidate for a personalized Tenor Madness setup. |
Our obsession |
(pops up small browser) |
Due to the cost of manufacturing, companies today can not afford to detail modern instruments to their full potential directly off of the assembly line.
If you have a modern saxophone that has never been professionally set up then you're definitely a candidate for a personalized Tenor Madness setup. |
We are obsessed with bringing out the very best in current production saxophones as well as vintage saxophones! |
|
Custom setup process |
- Disassembly and careful cleaning of the instrument with mild detergent if necessary.
- The horn is meticulously reassembled and adjusted one pad at a time.
- The spring tension is reset to your personal preference.
- Key venting is adjusted for an even playing scale.
- Intonation and overall playability is checked.
- The saxophone is allowed to sit for 2 days to settle in and then rechecked and adjusted, if necessary, before shipping.
