Contrite and embarassed saxophone repairman Matt Stohrer of http://www.StohrerMusic.com is his own ombudsman in this video, correcting a glaring error from his earlier video "Repairman's Overview: Selmer Radio Improved Saxophones" wherein he was callously incorrect about a particular element of the octave mechanism.  This video, however many days late and dollars short, attempts to "recalibrate" his statements on the subject.  

Thanks to those of you who corrected me on this!
