It was a service job, not an overhaul.

Do NOT ever relaq a saxophone ever. You'll strip away valuable brass which kills the tonal quality of the horn itself. I've played on relaq'd Mark VI's and they were total garbage being sold for thousands of dollars. Get a proper overhual, but leave the original lacquer alone please.

​@@jazzyjason90It's a misconception. Tonal deterioration has a different cause. Brass instruments are relaquered all the time, no problem and those have a much thinner wall than a sax has, and modern, better sounding instruments are thinner anyway. The real reason is that the buffing process of the keys, posts, and toneholes can undo the levelling and dryfitting processes that the techs have done before and that causes tiny leaks. But it can be done properly.
