About Brass Foghorn
Brass Foghorn is located in Newport Oregon. We are 700’ from the Pacific Ocean. When we’re not making noise testing a horn or just jamming for the fun of it, we can hear the surf, sea lions and a foghorn in the distance. We work on brass horns all day and listen to the foghorn, hence our name. The nearby State park has an amphitheater called “ The Foghorn Theater”. Foghorns and lighthouses are kind of a big deal around here.

- Each saxophone is thoroughly inspected, with any loose parts soldered as needed.
- All pads, corks, and felts are replaced, and tone holes are leveled.
- Damaged springs are replaced, and the action is lubed and reassembled.
- After adjusting pads and setting the regulation, the saxophone is play-tested extensively.
- We continue to tweak and test over a couple of weeks to ensure everything sets in perfectly.
