Re: Mr Alto needs an overhaul

Forget spot plating it is a waste of time and money. Plating works better on whole keys and is only cosmetic. Buffing keys will only keep them shiny for a short time and may even make them slippery and difficult to play. Why not just go and buy another C**. They are hardly the most expensive on the market. A refacing will probably cost as much as a new S80 or S90, US$60-80?. I prefer the soloist which is a little more expensive but more solid. Even the soloist wont be much over US$100. Assuming that this is a good quality alto it is probably worth an overhaul and new mouthpiece it will still probably work out cheaper than buying a new student model.
