I would watch much longer versions of these videos!

As you were saying “I could go on and on” I thought to myself “yes, please, do”! So, I’m really hoping for a series of more in detail stories (for the nerds among us).

I believe my BA tenor is a 39 or 40. Great series Doug.

once you're done with this introductory series I wish you will go back make extended versions of them adding all the details you know about these exquisite instruments! this is really fascinating. I own one tenor BA myself and it's amazing indeed!

I just found an abused and discarded Balanced Action alto (24xxx) manufactured in 1937 in a local pawn shop. I bought it for $130 and sent it off for restoration. Unfortunately someone had their way with a bad lacquer job at some point, so the restoration guy is going to strip the lacquer off, hopefully revealing some of the instrument's former beauty. I have a Super 80 series Tenor, so this will be a great conversation piece to add to my collection.

The major improvment was not the long rods elimination, I think this configuration saves metal pieces, mechanical adjustments and of course time comsumptiom at the assembly line. Some Non balanced action instruments have a very good ergonomic too! Anyway the instrument is miles ahead he competitors im many aspects

1936 was the first year of the balanced action. Bell keys were on the right side.

I have a 20906 Tenor - used to be silver plated. Is this one of the first BA tenors? Anyone have any info? The prototype in the video is 20910 - how could my BA be before that?
