<\/a><\/p>\nAccording to their Facebook page<\/a>, this product:<\/p>\n Despite the company showing these lovelies in all kinds of slightly-out-of-focus-detail, Meridian Winds is a bit short on details as to what their Heavy Mass Saxophone Neck Screw is supposed to do exactly<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. They do however, provide us with this shot of an informational card….<\/p>\n Again, it doesn’t provide us with any real details about the product’s supposed end result. Interestingly enough though, the company’s catch phrase, “The best place to take a leak”, is certainly familiar. It’s been the Saxgourmet’s<\/a> catch phrase for at least as long as I’ve been aware (since 2000).<\/p>\n Similarity to Steve Goodson’s catch phrase aside, adding weight to specific parts\u2014nodes if you will\u2014of the saxophone is not a new idea. As a matter of fact, years ago Steve Goodson designed a neck with nodal weights to increase mass at some pressure nodes that occur within the neck. This is supposed to improve the sound of certain notes that are otherwise dead\u2014such as D2.<\/p>\n\n
