Guess networking really does pay off. Been looking for a replacement saxophone for a while now, a friend of mine is a band director that's part of a larger group online and they found me a large list of band directors that are selling old school instruments. There are a lot of decently intact tenor saxes for cheap. Of course I'll have to play test them and I fully expect a repair job of my own caliber, but based on what I've already seen and played, this is very promising. Suddenly spending all those years learning about instrument repair don't seem wasted!
