Paul, the initial halves are made from forging. A very heavy weight presses
them into a mold. I use investment casting which raises cost considerably
and is extremely difficult but my chambers are very symmetrical. Phil

SUBJECT: Re: Digest Number 39
Phil, I had read something somewhere, about Links, that way way back
they were sandcast. I would be surprised if they were still made that
way.
Yes, more than anything, a manufacturer needs sample to sample
consistency in order to maintain a reputation for quality. A guy needs
to know, if I try my friend's SuperSax special, and I order one, will it
play the same? You can't have a customer going through a dozen samples
to find the one good one. They ALL have to be good. The player
deserves nothing less.
