How much will it cost to repair my tenor saxophone?
I have a cheap tenor sax that I use for marching band, and it stopped working earlier this year. The octave key on the neck doesn't go up at all and the neck is so bent that it has creases on the side. I've been using a rental but I want to know if it would be cheaper to just get it repaired. I got for about $350 on craigslist.
That's Chinese manufacturing for you. The metal is so cheap that it will bend if you apply pressure to it. I'm guessing the neck is beyond repair. Some techs don't even look at these dirt cheap horns. If they do, it will probably take a while, therefore it would cost a lot-maybe close to the price you paid for it. You could try getting a new neck, hoping the neck tenon will be the same size. Protect the body of the instrument with your life unless you want it to get broken too.
