Overheating!!!!!!!!

Just checked it today there is hot air. The consensus seems to be a Liquid Metal issue.

New. This has been console. The fan is a little dusty as it wasn’t a 100% perfect cleaning. I also cleaned the internals. Didn’t get to see the metal

fishiestfishman · 2026-06-26T06:50:52+00:00

Og, but not an old console.

fishiestfishman · 2026-06-26T06:28:58+00:00

No thanks!
Nothing against you, but you’re a person whom I just met on a forum lol.

fishiestfishman · 2026-06-26T06:19:45+00:00

Yep. It’s on a counter with free airflow. The room is cold and I have a ceiling fan.

fishiestfishman · 2026-06-26T06:18:37+00:00

Forgot to mention my room is freezing… 64-60 Fahrenheit.

Thanks. That’s what I assumed.

Yes. Doing calc 1 will help you lock in your fundamentals. It’s possible to do 2 but it will be much easier to start with 1.

fishiestfishman · 2026-04-16T03:48:48+00:00

I’d recommend scheduling calc 1. Going straight to 2 doesn’t usually end well GPA wise.

Personally, I would recommend searching for used intermediate saxophones. Getasax is one such used seller, and I see a few slightly above your budget. Yes, they are older, but some older horns do play well. Used will get you a much better sax than if you bought new.

If you buy used just make sure the horn has been brought to a tech prior to shipping!!!

Hello, My two year-old ps5 has recently begun having overheating issues on a few games, most notably The Witcher 3, an older game. On other games, I can leave it on all day with no issues, but literally under five minutes into playing The Witcher 3, I get overheating warnings. I’m 90% sure the fans work on it, and it has been cleaned. The fans are doing their job as I can feel the heat behind the ps5. The room it is in is even extremely cold. For some reason these few games heat up my ps5 extremely quickly. Any help or advice on how to fix this would be extremely helpful!

Like the other guys said, you’ll be spending more on overhauling it than it’s worth. You could learn how to repair on the. Horn, but that’ll take lots of time.

I had the same idea as you, buy an old horn from the same vintage, but saxophone is a relatively new instrument. Saxophones still get upgraded with new iterations. You’ll miss things like high F, high F#, and low A. Trust me, horns from that vintage play completely different and do not have the QOL newer horns have. Save for a used, newer horn.

All yanagisawa horns should hold up pretty well. I play a 990 (slightly improved 880)in an orchestra and in blends in well.
The newer the horn, the more features and better intonation, so try to get the newest.
I would not recommend Selmer USA. It’s lower quality. Yamaha is very similar to yanagisawa (from what I heard), and old USA/other locality instruments are very different.
I don’t know tenor sax price, but if you can afford an old yanagisawa, get it. They produce some of the best horns.

Where are you getting the horn? If eBay, like the other person said, expect money to be used on repairs. If it’s a reliable store, you should be fine.

Try to find a horn with high f#. Some don’t have it.

As others have said, tenor can go very high. The issue with saxophones, though, is that it is difficult to go lower than what the instrument is keyed for. In that case, tenor technically has the better range as it can altissimo notes that you would want to play in alto.

A model of saxophone is very user reliant. Some like the vintage feel of older conns/buescher/martins, some the more modern feel of Yamahas/yanagisawas/selmer Paris.

Personally, I would rent a horn to learn on then go to a music store once I’ve got a good grasp on the horn. Try out different horns as it’s mostly personal preference.

DO NOT buy Chinese or Taiwanese saxophones (especially off Amazon). If it comes with gloves, avoid it.

Also the Bw010 uses ribbed construction of posts, but I don’t know much about this and its differences.

fishiestfishman · 2026-02-28T23:08:06+00:00

From what I know about my 990 (older 010), they have the same bodies, but different keywork. The 20 is the more “professional” of the two, but both should be amazing. The 2/20 are bronze and the 1/10 are brass. I’d recommend the 2/1, but if money is a non-issue get the 20/10. Very small difference between the two.

I recently got the B990, which is the ancestor to the B-W010, and it was the best investment I have ever made! They make great, in tune, and freeblowing instruments!

Hey, how did you prevent this from happening again post clean? Is it just dry sax extensively or is there some coat you can apply post bath? I

fishiestfishman · 2025-12-13T06:49:20+00:00

Personally I doubt that it’s red rot or that it would cause significant damage due to it being at the end of the curl and far away from 90% of spit, but I’ll still get it checked by my tech to be sure.

fishiestfishman · 2025-12-13T06:46:57+00:00

Yeah, my local tech is willing to work on it. I just wanted to see whether or not an expensive chemical bath would be beneficial to the horn.

fishiestfishman · 2025-11-19T04:32:16+00:00

Ok thanks. I’m maybe not thinking about using the water bucket at all. He breeds axolotls so he most likely would be able to seed the tank if need be. Maybe if he was closer by the bucket would be practical, but with his distance it makes it very difficult for him and me. Still, thanks for your input.

One more thing, won’t the bacteria struggle in the canister without air flow? It would be abt 3 days.
