Hello members: I need the ideal lay schedule or curve for this excellent early brass Dukoff TENOR Super Power Chamber. It is an original D4 that measures .088" at the tip and I want to open it to .100 or D7. Please specify Winslow or Brand feelers. Any other tips concerning baffle shaping or suggestions for optimal tone quality or response would be appreciated. No, it's not for sale. Thanks, Greg

You can use a facing curve in the Files - Tenor Sax area. You will need MS Excel or a compatible program. There is a spreadsheet labled Tenor Link Facing Curve Table. Use the column for a Link 7 = .100". Just plug in your own set of feelers in the far left column. The glass gage numbers will update automatically. I might be inclined to go a little longer with the facing length than 46. But the one there aint bad.
