G30 TROMBONE

SLIDE SPACING TOOL

We have the simple

method to get correct

alignment of trombone

slides during reassembly.

Faster and far more

accurate than makeshift

methods, the G30 Slide

Spacing Tool works well

for aligning both inside

and outside slides. It is

accurately machined from steel and brass and has a

fine screw adjustment.

After straightening the slide rails or tubes, then,

using either the end bow or the handslide brace to

establish the spacing, use the G30 spacing tools to

maintain this size at both ends. After re-checking the

parallel, solder the slide together using low heat.

High heat will change your alignment. We suggest

using the E45A solder clips to secure the brace/tube

alignment when soldering. Also, you will find using

the P90 stone will enhance your accuracy.

N60 SAX POST RAISING TOOLS

When a sax post is depressed into the sax body

causing misalignment and key binding, it can be

raised quickly to its proper position with the N60 Sax

Post Raising Tool. The tool is double-ended to fit all

common sized posts. It is not necessary to remove

the spring, unless the post has two springs pointing in

opposite directions. In this case, remove the top most

spring only. NEW N60B for baritone saxes.

PROCEDURE Slip the tool over the post knob. Insert the hook of

your L13 Tuning Slide Removing Tool through the

hole at the opposite end (see picture below). Align

the Post Raising Tool and the Slide Remover so that

they will put the post in the proper direction. Now,

pull the weight on the L13 Slide Removing Tool.

Two or three light pulls will usually do the job.

The N60 and N60B Sax Post Raising Tools can

also be used for pulling dents out of sousaphones and

other large bodied instruments. Solder a sax post into

the center of the dent and pull up a little more force.

N72 BODY BOW DENT REMOVER

A double ended,

curved and tapered

rod, 18” (457mm)

long and

1/2” (12.7mm) in

diameter.

Intended to

remove dents in the

sax body bow by inserting balls through the Eb or C

tone holes and then gently prying up dents, low

spots or brace flanges with the lever action hand or

in a vise. Use the N80CS set of balls and N16S

guides.

N72 Sax Body Bow Dent Remover

N61 SAX BODY

STRAIGHTENING TOOL This Sax Body

Set is especially

for straightening

saxes which are

slightly bent or

sprung, usually

causing upper

stack keys to bind

and /or not work

properly. Always straighten before disassembly!

Bending the keys and cups without straightening

the body or shortening the hinge tubing will not

work satisfactorily . The stack rod will still not align

with the posts or key spacing.

After you determine which way the body is bent

or sprung, insert the proper size N61 plug into the

neck socket on an alto/tenor OR tighten the clamp

on the sax body holder placed on the baritone body

to the coil ring. Some repairmen accomplish the

straightening by allowing a controlled fall of the

instrument so that the holding device hits the top of

the bench and reverses the bend. One or two light

blows are usually sufficient to straighten the body

and realign the keys. QUICK AND EASY! Full

instructions are included.

N73 SAX GOOSENECK DENT ROD

This 1/2” (12.7mm)

tapered and curved rod

was designed to help

remove dents from all sax

goosenecks using the

fast, rod and ball

technique.

The slightly curved end fits the body end of the

necks and the large curved end fits over inside the

gooseneck of the Tenor Sax and some C Melodies.

Use the flexible P58 for that area between where

the rod and ball will not reach from either end.

In addition to sax repairs the N73 Rod can also be

used on some French horn crooks, some sousaphone

crooks, etc.. Used with the N80BS Set of balls

N73 Sax Gooseneck Dent Rod

This solid steel tapered body mandrel is a copy of the original sax body rod Cliff and Gary have used for

over 50 years. It works equally well on alto, tenor and baritone sax bodies. The body must be apart to use it as

you are likely working on a badly bent or damaged instrument. Use to straighten, dent or burnish the body

tube.

N4 YAMAHA TUNING

SLIDE DENT REMOVAL KIT

If you service Yamaha cornets or trumpets this

TUNING SLIDE DENT REMOVAL KIT is a

“must have” addition to the shop. Because of the

manufacturing process (silver soldered draw knob),

dents in the first or second valve tuning slide are

nearly impossible to fix any normal method.

Ferree’s modified the dent removing jig used at

the Yamaha factory to solve this problem. In 90% of

the dented slides we tried, the N4 fixed them quick-

ly without the need for further dent work.

The N4 DENT REMOVING KIT will eliminate

the need for keeping a large inventory of new slides

as replacement parts. It will also eliminate having

to completely overhaul each damaged tuning slide.

The kit comes complete with a holding jig, special

ground pliers and instructions.

Heavy Duty

Swedging pliers

for use on all

pliers are oval shaped and highly polished to prevent

different size burnishing holes are the same diameter

as the holes that have been standardized for years by

the repair industry. The jaws are 3/16” wide from top

to bottom and the total length of the pliers is 9-1/2”.

The big change is in the handles. The compound

leverage created by the handle means less hand

pressure with faster results. If you do a lot of

swedging, this problem is greatly eliminated.

WOODWIND tools

Notes from customers: “Your new screwdrivers. I think

they’re great and I actually don’t

jab myself, since they don’t slip out

of the screw slots as easily. Plus, I

like the larger grip and top. The

colored tops make it faster to find &

to pick up the right driver I want to

use, as compared to examining the

tips to get the right one.”...Sharon

*NEW* F77 POWERDRIVER SCREWDRIVERS

Our new F77 PowerDriver Screwdrivers are for repairmen who

love solid, fixed-blade screwdrivers that fit correctly. These

repairmen take pride in their tools and workmanship. This NEW

design gives the blade a better fit with sizes that fit nearly every

woodwind or brasswind screw, giving excellent control which

helps to eliminate slippage, scratching or injury.

We started with the tip of the blade, the part that has to fit the

pivot screw and rod end slots perfectly. The tip is the most imp

ortant part of the repairman’s screwdriver. The blade tip area is

precision ground to a semi-hollow ground shape to give them

maximum strength. The improved design parallel section is then

ground to fit the slot of the screw or rod. This is what keeps you

from “buggering” up the slot and post hole; a blade tip that evenly

distributes the turning torque applied at the handle to the full

width and depth of the pivot screw or rod end slot.

Each of these screwdrivers comes with a black anodized finish

on a finely knurled aluminum alloy handle for a firmer feel,

which provides you with more torque for easier turning of stubborn screws and rods. All of the tops are hex

shaped, so that they will NOT roll off your bench. They are color coded for quick reference.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to keep the blade parallel to the body to prevent damage caused by the leverage

created by angular insertion in the post pivot screw or slot.

As well as these F77’s are made, nothing is unbreakable. These drivers ARE stronger than most others

and tough too, but that doesn’t mean you can just twist away with abandon. When the screw is hard frozen

and the screwdriver shaft flexes, STOP and apply a little heat and our great old standby, J88 Corrosion

Cracker. Wait a bit and “Voila!”, the screw will usually come out much easier

Six of the most commonly used rod and screw sizes were chosen for this collection of fine drivers. Two

of them come in two lengths. They are available individually or in a complete set of 8.

F27 SAX KEY BENDING LEVERS

Seven tools designed specifically for key bending

work. Eliminates makeshift methods. You can level

any sax key easily in a matter of minutes. Will pull

down the back of the pad cup if the pad does not

touch the tone hole in back. Will not mar the keys.

No longer necessary to shim up pads. Will cut hours

off overhaul times and adjustments when replacing

pads.

Slip the proper G21 Key Leveling Tool between

the tone hole and the front of the pad. Next, select

the correct F27 Bending Lever. Hook the prongs on

the lever under the hinge tube. Then, pull down with

the necessary pressure.

F27 Sax Key Bending Levers

G21 SAX KEY LEVELING TOOLS

This set of 7 brass

wedges are placed

under sax pads to

align cups with tone

holes before pad

seating. Each wedge

is a different

thickness and

different angle for

hard to get places. Can be used with F27 Bending

Levers or for bending keys with your fingers.

It is suggested that two sets be purchased, as you

will custom bend some of these for special

locations.

*NEW* E100 FLUTE

KEY ARM BENDING SET

Complete with 10-pad cup dies, 2-formed drivers,

1-brass jaw with one Teflon face and 1-2” X 2”

patch of Teflon to make small cushion pads for the

drivers.

Now you can bend or re-bend keys to give the

proper attack angle to a tone hole WITHOUT

distorting the pad cup in the process. By using this

key arm bending set, you can “dial in” the proper

angle for the pad to be perfectly level with the

tone hole without using a big stack of washers or

making the pad too high out of the cup than the rest

on the pads on the instrument. This tool set works

with either Plateau or French model instruments. It

doesn’t take much power to do. Use just a slight tap

with a rawhide mallet to ‘tunk’ the arm, using the

supplied driver.

With this complete set of dies, 15.5mm thru

20mm, you can, at last, correct factory or previous

repair miscues by setting the pad projection to your

standard and have the pad hit the tone hole in level

fashion. Especially handy for installing some of

those “special pad and base washer combo’s” that

some people are experimenting with now.

The two special drivers, (one-blunt chisel for

forged keys and the other a split fork for the French

style sculpted keys) fit the pad cup key arm profiles.

The special made brass jaw is coated on one side

with a Teflon pad so that the pad cup doesn’t get

scratched. The Teflon patch is provided so that you

may cut small cushions for the drivers to give some

help in protecting sterling keys or brand new plated

ones.

The chips are made of the finest grenadilla wood.

H75 Hot Stuff Glue is a special cyanoacrylate glue

that is extremely thin. It will instantly soak into and

penetrate the chips, unlike the super glues you buy at

grocery and drug stores.

Take some grenadilla chips in your fingers.

Pulverize them between your fingers and thumb and

fill the crack or the hole. Mound up the chips slightly.

Add about 3 to 4 drops of Hot Stuff Glue. You will

see in about 15 seconds the grenadilla chips are hard

enough to be sanded or filed. No more waiting

overnight for epoxy to dry.

*NEW* E97 SAXOPHONE

TONE HOLE REFACING TOOL These NEW E97 Diamond and brass refacing tools

are now available

in two different

grits; the standard

400 and fine 800,

for both cutting and

deburring depend-

ing on your need.

For doing really

fine tone hole work

without the guess-

ing and approximate precision of not having a tool

made for the specific purpose of leveling and

smoothing the tone hole surface.

These tools are designed with the intent to allow

you to both smooth and level a tone hole quickly and

easily after a body straightening and any dent work

area done. Many times only a quarter turn of the tool

is required to check the status of the tone hole and

keep material removal to a minimum. These tools

save on fingers, hands and fingertips.

These new refacing tools use the same proven

rotary method used with the old E96 set. This new

E97 set contains the same pilot discs, handles and

wrenches, but is crafted from billet machined brass to

hold a diamond disc as a precision cutting surface.

These tools are made from brass to allow cleaning of

the abrasive diamond disc with a toothbrush and

plain water. If desired, you may order a set of brass

refacing tools with either the 400 or 800 grit.

*NEW* E98 FLUTE TONE HOLE

REFACING TOOL

This flute

specific tool is a

refined version of

the hexagonal one

we have had for

saxophones since

the late 1980’s.

The new, longer,

round and knurled

aluminum handle gives you more control over the

movement of the diamond cutting face, since you do

not have to overcome the ‘inertia’ caused by the

heavier hexagonal brass handle model.

The delicate nature of a flute requires your hand to

have ultimate control unlike the bigger, heavier and

thicker tone hole saxophones.

This tool now comes complete with 4 pilots for

the basic sized tone holes on most flutes. The pilots

are:

4/16” (6.35mm)

7/16” (11.11mm)

8/16” (12.7mm)

9/16” (14.28mm) in diameter

Specific pilot sizes to your specs are available by

special order. Or, you may modify the ones that

come with it.

The replacement 800 grit diamond disc is a

standard part we carry; its number is E97D8-1.

G53 & G54 CLARINET

TONE HOLE UNDERCUTTERS

This tool was developed at the request of several

Repairmen. These Repairmen had been getting

requests to undercut the tone holes on bass and

soprano clarinets. Accomplished players feel that

this undercutting improves the tone, response and

clarity of many of the notes on the clarinet.

This tool accomplishes the undercutting that is

already standard on many French manufactured

clarinets. Now you can perform the procedure on

any clarinet.

Ferree’s G53 Soprano Clarinet Tone Hole Under

cutters and G54 Bass Clarinet Tone Hole Under

cutters make this undercutting a simple task.

1. Choose one of the G53 or G54 Under cutters

that matches the tone hole you will be cutting.

2. Slide the keyed slot in the bottom of the

cutter over the keyed part of the insertion rod.

3. Slide insertion rod (with the cutter resting on

it) into the end of the clarinet joint. By looking

thru the tone hole, stop the cutter directly under

the hole you will be working on.

4. Insert the threaded T handle down thru the

tone hole and screw it into the under cutter.

5. Pull out the insertion rod from the clarinet

joint.

6. After the hole has been undercut, return the

insertion rod into the clarinet joint and insert

the keyed end back into the key way in the

under cutter. (Cont. top of next column)

7. Now you can unscrew the T handle from the

cutter and pull out the insertion rod out of the

clarinet. The cutter will come out with the rod.

8. While holding the clarinet joint, pull up on the

T handle and twist it clockwise. This will pull

the undercutter against the inside of the tone

hole. The clockwise turning will remove the

material making a perfect tapered opening. It

normally only requires a few turns of the

handle (5 or 6). Not a lot of upward pressure

is necessary.

A G53 Soprano Clarinet Undercutter set

consists of the insertion rod, three T handles, and

six precision cutters.

A G54 Bass Clarinet Undercutter set consists of

the insertion rod, two T handles and seven

precision cutters.

Tenon fitting tools

*NEW* H59 TENON EXPANDER

“CAN OPENER” STYLE For Flutes, Saxophones & Bass Clarinets

The H59 was recently

redesigned to offer more

flexibility in tightening metal

tenons. Used on flutes, saxes,

bass clarinets, etc. The metal in

the necks of some bass clar-

inets and saxophones are a lot

thicker than other instrument

tenons. This is why

conventional methods of en-

larging the tenon sometimes

will not be as successful as

when using this tool. Also the curve of a bass clar-

inet neck sometimes presents a problem on old style

tenon expanders.

H59 “Can Opener” Style Tenon Expander

for flutes, saxes, bass clarinets.

The first accessory

developed is the H59A

set of rollers to stretch

or “extrude” solid hinge

tubes in lieu of

swedging; this helps

save the finish and helps

make the key longer and

stronger.

Especially handy for use on the hi-E and low C#

keys on many saxes, the whisper key on most

bassoons and the f-lever on various clarinets. There

are three radii sizes for clarinet, saxes and bassoon.

Not much squeezing is required, so, proceed

cautiously until you get used to the effect of the

mechanism. These rollers do a beautiful finished job,

in most cases preserving the plating or lacquer by

advancing pressure, slowly. Keep key on straight

course. You may want to leave the key “a little bit

oval” or “slightly squared” (NOT ENOUGH TO

NOTICE) to increase the strength through the small

amount of work hardening that naturally happens and

to help prevent twisting or torquing of the shaft while

the instrument is being played. Do NOT just clamp

down and start cranking, be discreet.

*NEW* H59A Triple Key Extruder

*NEW* H58 HEAVY DUTY

TENON SWEDGER

The H58 mounts in your vise. It comes equipped

with 6 collets for most alto and tenor saxes. Two of

the collets provided fit most alto saxes and the four

larger collets fit most tenor sax tenons. There are

other collets for ‘orphan’ saxes and we will make

any special sizes you need as well.

Also pictured are two special dies made for

shrinking flute tenons.

~There are two methods used to shrink the

tenons~

One is to use the tool much the same as you would

a flute tenon shrinker. That is, tightening the tool a

little and turning the neck, being careful not to kink

it.

The second method and most preferred is to just

put the neck tenon into the tool and tighten the tool

1/4 turn, loosen the tool, move the neck 1/4 turn and

then tighten the tool 1/4 turn again, repeating until

you get all the way around. Test fit and then if

necessary, only go 1/8 turn the next time around at

each step. Best results are obtained if you limit

shrinking to about .010” per collet.

Other sizes are available for baritone saxes, bass

clarinets and some odd alto, tenor and c-melody sax-

es.

WOODWIND TOOLS

H60 thru H63 EXPANDERS

These precision made, polished and chrome plated,

expanders have the proper internal expansion angle to

give you a feel when you are fitting the job and also

help prevent scratching the internal surfaces.

These tough long lasting steel tools can be held in

your hand or in a bench vise.

These expanders all work on the same principle.

They make an even, tight fit from loose and worn sax

neck tenons and metal flute head and foot tenons, by

rounding out bent, dented or out-of-round tenons.

These tools apply even pressure, from the inside

out.

OPERATION Mount the tool in a vise using a V-block to properly

secure it. Use cork grease or Z6 laced petroleum jelly

as a lubricant on the working surface of the expander.

Then turn the knurled adjusting knob until the

expander is snug inside the tenon back and forth over

the expander’s working surface with a slow

semi-rotating motion.

N77 FLUTE AND PICCOLO

HEAD SWEDGING DIES

Ferree’s Flute and Piccolo Head Swedging Dies

were designed to shrink the tenons that have been

over expanded. These dies can also be used to

remove ridges and dents from tenons that have been

previously improperly repaired.

The proper sized die should be firmly held by a

vise. Use cork grease or Z6 laced petroleum jelly as

lube on the tenon. Tighten the adjusting screw so the

die barely closes on the tenon. Work the tenon. Then

move it back and forth in the die with a semi

-rotating motion. Test fit, often.

FLUTE HEAD SWEDGING DIES N77A Has a .790” (20mm) hole and is

1” (25.4mm) long. It fits most standard

flutes.

N77B Has a .790” (20mm) hole and is

2” (50.8mm) long. Designed for repair

men who need to cover a large area.

N77C This model has a similar

hole .774” (19.7mm) and is 1” (25.4mm)

long. It fits Armstrong model 80 and

some imported flutes.

Sawing Tool

accurately saws

screwdriver slots in

stack and hinge

screws. Takes all

necessary rod sizes.

The steel shaft is

3/8” (9.5mm) to fit the chuck of the N99A Bench

Motor.

To use, dip the rod in the proper hole in housing.

Press the rod into the saw blade while holding the

housing in your hand. In a matter of seconds, the job

is completed. The tool comes with one blade which is

easily replaced when necessary with a small Allen

The new oversized 1” blade makes this tool even

easier to use than before. Bonus is that the

replacement blades are about half the cost of the 3/4”

ones in the past. Additionally, they have finer teeth

for a smooth precision cut. The best part is, that if

you have had one for a while, you can have it

updated (G44U), including new blade. We still have

the older G44A blades in stock but, we highly

recommend this update, as a splendid improvement.

Note: Slot about .030” to .040” (.75mm to 1.0mm

Penetrating Oil is

been stuck for years.

After allowing it to

set overnight, the

slide was REMOVED BY HAND, using no tools

whatsoever. A recent scientific discovery reduces

surface tension so that this amazing solvent creeps

into openings as small as ONE MILLIONTH OF

AN INCH. Some parts can be loosened immediate-

ly, others may require a little more time for the oil to

work its way to the full length. BUT… it will work!

You can loosen valve and tuning slides, stuck or

slow moving woodwind keys and stack rods, nuts,

bolts, studs, screws, pulleys, shafts, bearings, pipe

threads, valve guides or any other corroded metal

parts. You can lubricate air driven tools, remove

rust, gummed oil and grease. Cannot ship by mail.

N115 CLARINET BODY

CENTERING CLAMP

Using Ferree’s G19 Clear Magic makes it possible

to glue together a plastic, rubber, ebonite or resonite

clarinet that has been completely broken in half.

If you have a G78 Clarinet Grafting Jig or a G74S

Raised Tone Hole Jig, you can use either of them as a

clamp to hold the parts together for precision gluing.

If you do not have either of the mentioned tools,

this tool will provide you a less expensive way to

clamp and hold the body while the glue is curing.

Using the N115 Clarinet Body Clamp. Carefully

clean the broken ends with the G20S Jet Magic

Solvent. Be sure the broken edges are free from

grease, oil and dirt. Then, apply properly mixed G19

to the broken ends in such a way that you don’t get a

glob in the bore of the instrument when repositioning

them back together. Next, slip the clarinet over the

N115 Clarinet Body Centering Clamp and clamp the

body together by tightening the knurled knobs. Let it

cure for 24 to 36 hours.

If any chips of material have been lost from the

break, you can build up the spot by applying a fresh

batch of G20 Jet Magic as needed. Allow the Jet

Magic to cure between coats, then sand to match the

body contour.

This newest set up has the latest tools that do the work very quickly and better.

Woodwind tools

G85 OBOE CENTER

TENON TOOLS

The G85 Oboe Center Tenon Tool has a hardened

tool steel cutter to bore a hole in the joint.

The design of the tool insures that the tone hole

will be perfectly centered. Three tapered pilots have

different diameters to fit all known oboe bores.

The set consists of:

▪Three tapered pilots

▪One Cutter

▪One tapered reamer

▪Two pieces of ABS

Select the tapered pilot that best fits the bore.

Preload the cutter onto the pilot so it will be ready to

form. The reamer is made of tool steel and/or

hardened. Operate the lathe at a slow speed,

approximately 200 rpm, and feed the oboe into the

cutter by hand. Do not use the tail stock if the joint

is warped.

The next step is to make the new tenon. This

procedure is greatly simplified by the use of the G85

Tapered Reamer. This reamer is made of tool steel

and oil hardened. The reamer is engineered to make

a tapered hole in the replacement tenon plug that

will match the bore using your hand skills.

After the tenon is completely formed inside and

out, glue it into the instrument using G19 Clear

Magic.

This tool will turn an almost impossible repair job

into one of the easiest repairs you can make, with

the aid of only a small lathe.

G85 Oboe Center Tenon Tools

G50-G52 BASSOON TENON TOOLS

These tools work similarly to the G84 Clarinet

instead of cylindrical pilots.

G84 SMALL TENON SET

Using a machine lathe, this tool eliminates the

danger of splitting a clarinet when making cuts.

Maintains a straight even cut of consistent diameter.

Cutters are made of high speed tool steel, with max-

imum chip clearance. Brass pilots can be ma-

chined accurately as needed to fit any desired clari-

net bore.

These pilots do not cause friction and so eliminate

the danger of softening rubber or plastic. The cutters

are removable and easily re-sharpened. The set

includes the following:

▪Cutter for soprano clarinet work

▪Cutter for shortening barrels

▪Facing cutter, also works on bass clarinet

bottom tenons

▪Four soprano clarinet pilots: one for

general clarinet use, three uncut

G71 BELL TENON SETS

The taper of the arbor fits clarinet bores better

and acts as a pilot; making a more accurate cut with

less chance of the cutter drifting off center.

The cutter is held in the lathe chuck and reversed

to make the step cut, if necessary. You can do a

better finished job than by trying to thread a new

tenon in, or some other method. These tenons,

when glued in with G19 Clear Magic, are as strong

or stronger than the original tenon was in many

cases.

H68 FLUTE TENON SLEEVE

This tool is made from 1-1/4” (31.8mm) hexagon

shaped steel 2” (50.8mm) long. The inside has been

bored and then hand honed to an exact dimension.

The tenon sleeve is used by placing it over the tenon

and using the H62 Flute Tenon Expander on the

for clean up after socket graft has been

preformed; for removal of glue in the corner or as a

fine adjustment of size. In addition, you can “true to

size” to a perfectly round, a warped or an ovaled

socket. The G83 works on the mouthpiece, upper

and middle sockets. This fine tool features an

adjustable depth collar and an adjustable SINGLE

cutting blade and sleeve to avoid chattering. An

OPTIONAL separate blade and collar are available

to allow the G83 to also be used on the bell socket.

G86 CLARINET TONE HOLE

REPLACEMENT CUTTER SET

The G86 cutters are used to machine a flat

bottomed relief or socket, which will accept the

tapered tone hole or raised tonehole chimney. You

will make from an ABS rod or other material on a

small lathe.

A set consists of 11 cutters and 33 brass pilots.

The cutters are made from tool steel, hardened for

maximum durability.

We recommend this new tool be used with the

G74S Tone Hole Jig, which we have made for many

years.

The G74S should be clamped to the table of a drill

press and the clarinet joint mounted for maximum

rigidity while boring the socket.

The large variety of brass pilots included make a

good tight fit possible in any diameter tone hole.

They center the cutter with the hole and help guide

the cutter in for a straight reveal.

The two flute design of the cutters, along with the

brass eliminate all chatter that occasionally occurs

with a fly cutter. Cutters run in size from

13/32” (10.3mm) thru 23/32” (18.3mm) in

1/32” (.8mm) steps.

Set comes complete with a divided box which

keeps the cutting edges from becoming damaged

and keeps pilots from becoming lost.

G100 OBOE TONEHOLE

REPLACEMENT CUTTER SET

The Oboe Tone Hole Cutter Set is a complete set

of cutters designed to repair or replace tone holes on

oboe joints. This set consists of ten brass pilots,

eight flat cutters, and nine “V” angle shaped cutters.

The flat cutters can be used to bore an old tone

hole out so a new tone hole can be inserted. This is

especially useful when a crack extends through a

tone hole causing a leak. The flat cutters can also be

used in conjunction with the angle cutters for

repairing tone holes that are double cut with a flat

section in the center of an angled tone hole. These

flat cutters range in size from 5.5mm to 12mm. The

cutters are made from hardened tool steel to hold a

sharp edge. The pilots are made from brass and can

be machined to fit any size tone hole. This fine set

of cutters comes in a padded box with a lid, to

protect them from being damaged and to keep the

pilots from getting lost.

Plug in the bad tone

Then using the H75

chipped area. The Tapered Glue Plug keeps the repair

perfectly round like the original tone hole. All that’s

left to do is smoothing and flattening the top of the

tone hole. Now you have fast, virtually undetectable

repair. The delrin plug will not stick to the glue.

*NEW* G56 CLARINET BORE

MEASURING TOOL

Clarinet manufacturers spend thousands of dollars to perfect the inside boring of a clarinet joint to make it

absolutely smooth. However, when we measured the inside diameter of hundreds of clarinet tuning barrels and compared them to the inside diameters of the top

tenon of the first joint we found there was a considerable difference, enough of a difference to

make a noticeable “step” in the bore. Quick and easy way to measure clarinet bores. Compare the bore of the top joint with the bore of the

barrel that you are using or have just purchased. If the barrel is smaller, you may want to match the bore to the top joint using the G107

Precision Barrel Reamer. You may also want to match the bore of the mouthpiece. We recommend measuring the bottom bore of the

barrel first; that way, you can see the difference when you install the probe into the top joint bore.

To measure; loosen the set screw slightly and carefully insert the graduated aluminum probe into the bore, slide the brass housing down to where it bottoms

out in the socket, lightly tighten the set screw and remove the unit from the bore. The end of the brass housing will be marking where the bore size is. Use

your dial calipers or micrometers to measure the aluminum probe at that point. Write down the size and

proceed to measure the other parts, similarly.

G56 Clarinet Bore Measuring Tool

*NEW* G107 PRECISION

BARREL REAMER

With this reamer

you can bore out

the barrel to match

the bore of the clar-

inet body and you

can also match the

bore of the barrel

to meet the bore of the mouthpiece. Measure accu-

rately so that you don’t overbore the barrel. This

tool has been used for several years by repair-

men heavily involved in custom clarinet modifica-

tions. Used in conjunction with G56 Clarinet Bore

key that needs a custom fit, use the small lead filled

anvil. This is similar to the old way of removing pins

using a lead block and hand held punch. The third

anvil is tall and made of brass. Use it to reinstall the

pins when assembling the key.

PUNCHES The three punches are made out of tool steel and

have been hardened and tempered. One punch has a

sharp point for the pins that are ground off flush with

the key. The second punch has a small flat end on the

end and the third has a concaved punching surface

which works best on pins that protrude from the key

or when reinstalling pins in the key.

INSTRUCTIONS To use the F20 Key Pin Removal Tool, install the

proper fitting anvil into the base. Place the key on the

anvil and slide the punch down to contact the pin.

Then tap the punch to remove the pin.

X100 FLUTE PAD OVEN

Originally developed almost 50 years ago, this oven

has come into its own in the last 45 years for

correcting flute bladder pads to a more perfect air

tightness. With just one drop of distilled water per

pad you can make a good job better, when coupled

with a balanced set of G82 Flute Clips. 6 minutes is

all it takes

Properly done no further adjustment or regulation is

necessary, saving you much time.

~REPAIR TIP~ Seems the Buffet clarinet

nibs (nubs) on the C# & Low B Levers are plastic

and they break. We got word that the easiest way to

fix them is to make a replacement from 2mm

weedwacker cord. Just pull a little bit in your bench

motor, carefully round off the end sticking out with

a small file or something and then take the piece and

glue it into the key. Looks factory and is likely

tougher.
