When overhauls need to be done depends a lot on the instrument. I did the last overhaul on my instrument (I use to do instrument repair as well as play for the Navy) over ten years ago. Since I used

To remark on Terry's comment about buzzing keywork on the Bundy contras, he's right -- they seem to build in a huge amount of play between the key tubes and the posts. When I overhauled mine I had to shim

Keep the keywork swedged. Old instruments suffer greatly from keywear at the pivot points - that is typically one of the most problematic things with older instruments. [%sig%]

Often a buzz is caused by a miniscule amount of free play between a key tube and the rod screw running through it -- this can be corrected by swedging (swaging) the key tube -- compressing it

Be wary that the screws are slotted and soft, and a misplaced driver can render the slotted area unusable. Also, overtightening can bind a key. That is why there
