Hi Folks,

Does anyone possess a saxaphone and if so would they be able to take some pictures of it that I may be able to use as a reference? The over all design is straightforward it is all the keys, levers and plumbing that present the challenge.

They need not be high resolution, just several from different angles so that I can see which lever operates which key. A camera phone or web cam would be quite sufficient.

Many thanks.

I'm heading to some pawn shops today, so I'll take some pictures if I see some.

If there's one thing Orlando has a lot of, it's pawn shops. The dark, dirty, unsorted ones are always the best.. :)

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

And fully poseable, riiiight?

I can't believe there isn't a poser saxaphone already somewhere, even if somewhat inaccurate.

I'm sure there is.
This one has to be accurate and poseable :)

There used to be one at 3D Cafe.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Try Selmer, they make saxaphones. Any company that does brass and woodwinds should have a beauty shot or two.

I made a Seaxophone once, partially modeled on a sax I had at the time (sort of a weapon...;) 3d Cafe did have one. I've seen others in the galleries over the years...

 Hi Phil.
I have a tenor and alto saxophone which I play with.
The tenor I have had for 35 years give or take.
I'd be more than happy to take hires picture for you this week if you still want them.
I have a 10.2 meg Pentax and the files can be quite detailed.

Thanks, yes that would indeed be helpful. They do not need to be high resolution 600 x 600 @ 100 KB will be fine. I just need to be able to see how the keys and links are connected.

Again thanks,

Phil

Cool, :)

I'll be able to use all of the above and start on it today.

Many thanks to all.
