I have a c.1922 King Voll-True alto saxophone and I was wondering if anyone has ever put modern keys(the modern low Bb and #C) on a vintage sax? It's probably WAY too expensive to do, and would probably never be worth it, no matter how good the vintage sax is. I'm just wondering if anyone's ever done it, or seen someone who's done it before?

I have a 6M Conn in line as well as a 12M bari that will receive modern keys!

That's awesome. And they're located in New Orleans. I'll have to drive over there sometime and check that place out. Doc, how much would you charge to straighten just a regular vintage alto sax?
