Captions paid for by
Discovery communications
3
00:00:52,758 --> 00:00:54,620
Narrator: the first computers
4
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,206
Used to be the size
Of an entire room.
5
00:00:57,206 --> 00:01:00,448
Then they were built
To fit on your desk.
6
00:01:00,448 --> 00:01:04,655
The newest design is a portable
Device that sits on your lap,
7
00:01:04,655 --> 00:01:06,655
And today's laptops are made
8
00:01:06,655 --> 00:01:09,724
Even smaller
And more powerful than ever.
9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,275
With its lightning-fast
Processor
10
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:17,103
And impressive graphics,
11
00:01:17,103 --> 00:01:20,758
This laptop is designed
For high-performance gaming.
12
00:01:20,758 --> 00:01:23,482
The computer's brain,
Called the motherboard,
13
00:01:23,482 --> 00:01:25,965
Begins as
A printed circuit board.
14
00:01:25,965 --> 00:01:28,689
Its pattern of lines and pads
And copper
15
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:31,034
Is the wiring
For the electronic components
16
00:01:31,034 --> 00:01:33,310
That will be soldered
To the board.
17
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:36,827
This machine places a stencil
Of the component layout
18
00:01:36,827 --> 00:01:38,034
Onto the board
19
00:01:38,034 --> 00:01:41,275
And applies solder paste
Through the openings.
20
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:44,965
A quality-inspection camera
Photographs the solder paste
21
00:01:44,965 --> 00:01:47,344
And sends the images
To a computer.
22
00:01:47,344 --> 00:01:50,931
The computer analyzes them,
Looking for any missing paste,
23
00:01:50,931 --> 00:01:53,310
Misalignment, or other mistakes.
24
00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:55,241
If the board passes inspection,
25
00:01:55,241 --> 00:01:58,517
It passes through
15 robotic machines,
26
00:01:58,517 --> 00:02:01,517
Each of which places up
To 150 components
27
00:02:01,517 --> 00:02:06,034
On the correct locations
On the board in just 30 seconds.
28
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:07,655
Then the board runs
Through an oven
29
00:02:07,655 --> 00:02:09,413
That melts the solder paste,
30
00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:13,241
Connecting the components
To the board.
31
00:02:13,241 --> 00:02:15,172
Another camera inspection
Ensures
32
00:02:15,172 --> 00:02:18,827
That the internal processor
Is correctly soldered,
33
00:02:18,827 --> 00:02:22,758
And that no component is missing
Or shifted out of position.
34
00:02:22,758 --> 00:02:25,724
After function testing
And a visual inspection,
35
00:02:25,724 --> 00:02:28,172
The motherboard
Moves to the assembly line
36
00:02:28,172 --> 00:02:30,896
And is set aside
For the time being.
37
00:02:30,896 --> 00:02:34,103
Next, technicians manually
Assemble the top half
38
00:02:34,103 --> 00:02:36,586
Of the laptop
Called the panel kit.
39
00:02:36,586 --> 00:02:40,827
They place protection film
On the 15-inch lcd screen.
40
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,206
Then they plug in the cable
41
00:02:42,206 --> 00:02:46,068
That will connect the lcd
To the motherboard.
42
00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:50,206
They insert the lcd screen
Into a frame with a web camera
43
00:02:50,206 --> 00:02:54,137
And microphone already embedded.
44
00:02:54,137 --> 00:02:58,344
Then they attach this antenna
Bottom cover to the screen cover
45
00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,655
And position
The motherboard cable inside it.
46
00:03:01,655 --> 00:03:05,482
Next, they install the module
For the webcam and microphone.
47
00:03:09,344 --> 00:03:11,068
They attach two hinges,
48
00:03:11,068 --> 00:03:16,241
Which connect this panel kit
To the rest of the laptop.
49
00:03:16,241 --> 00:03:18,241
Then they install
The wi-fi antenna
50
00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:20,137
In the antenna bottom cover.
51
00:03:25,241 --> 00:03:28,655
All components are concealed
In the antenna bottom cover
52
00:03:28,655 --> 00:03:30,689
Behind this antenna top cover.
53
00:03:32,758 --> 00:03:34,448
They complete the panel kit
54
00:03:34,448 --> 00:03:37,620
By pressing in a thin metal
Frame around the screen.
55
00:03:44,137 --> 00:03:48,344
Next, they assemble the bottom
Half of the laptop.
56
00:03:48,344 --> 00:03:50,827
First, technicians attach
The top cover
57
00:03:50,827 --> 00:03:54,172
To the panel-kit hinges
And the touchpad.
58
00:03:58,862 --> 00:04:02,724
Then they install the right and
Left speakers in the top cover.
59
00:04:06,172 --> 00:04:09,206
Now the motherboard
Comes back into play.
60
00:04:09,206 --> 00:04:12,137
After inspection,
A computer-guided router
61
00:04:12,137 --> 00:04:15,517
Cuts out openings to accommodate
The computer's fans,
62
00:04:15,517 --> 00:04:18,448
Which prevent the electronics
From overheating.
63
00:04:18,448 --> 00:04:22,758
A gaming laptop generates a lot
More heat than a regular laptop
64
00:04:22,758 --> 00:04:27,034
And therefore requires two
Powerful fans rather than one.
65
00:04:27,034 --> 00:04:28,862
After checking
That the fan screws
66
00:04:28,862 --> 00:04:30,724
Are sufficiently tightened,
67
00:04:30,724 --> 00:04:35,000
They place the motherboard
Into the top cover.
68
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,172
Contaminants such as dust or oil
Can impede proper contact,
69
00:04:39,172 --> 00:04:42,000
So as a precaution,
They clean the connectors
70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,379
For the memory modules
With solvent,
71
00:04:44,379 --> 00:04:48,448
Then dry them
With compressed air.
72
00:04:48,448 --> 00:04:50,931
Then they install
The memory module,
73
00:04:50,931 --> 00:04:53,448
The wi-fi and bluetooth module,
74
00:04:53,448 --> 00:04:57,931
And the solid-state disc,
Which stores data.
75
00:04:57,931 --> 00:05:01,172
They connect a high-capacity
Battery to the motherboard.
76
00:05:01,172 --> 00:05:04,482
Batteries for gaming laptops
Are typically larger
77
00:05:04,482 --> 00:05:09,310
Because the faster processor and
Dual fans consume more power.
78
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,551
The last component is
The keyboard,
79
00:05:11,551 --> 00:05:13,724
Which fits into
A rectangular opening
80
00:05:13,724 --> 00:05:16,103
In the top cover
Of the bottom half.
81
00:05:16,103 --> 00:05:17,413
A laser-etching machine
82
00:05:17,413 --> 00:05:21,172
Marks the required
Information underneath.
83
00:05:21,172 --> 00:05:24,344
An automated machine tests
Numerous functions,
84
00:05:24,344 --> 00:05:27,275
And a quality-control team tests
Several others,
85
00:05:27,275 --> 00:05:29,931
Including the virtual-reality
Feature...
86
00:05:32,344 --> 00:05:36,482
...The lcd and keyboard color
Displays...
87
00:05:36,482 --> 00:05:37,931
And the keys.
88
00:05:40,137 --> 00:05:42,724
Not only must the keys function
Properly,
89
00:05:42,724 --> 00:05:44,241
They need to be durable,
90
00:05:44,241 --> 00:05:48,068
So enthusiastic gamers
Won't break them while playing.
91
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,758
Narrator: panettone is a
Traditional italian sweetbread
92
00:06:02,758 --> 00:06:05,655
Most commonly prepared
For dessert on christmas
93
00:06:05,655 --> 00:06:07,137
And new years.
94
00:06:07,137 --> 00:06:08,724
Baking authentic panettone
95
00:06:08,724 --> 00:06:11,413
Can take up to two days
Or more to make.
96
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:14,517
A certain expertise is needed
To turn these ingredients
97
00:06:14,517 --> 00:06:18,586
Into its domed-like shape while
Maintaining its fluffy center.
98
00:06:18,586 --> 00:06:22,586
The baker pours high-protein
Flour to a mixing bowl.
99
00:06:22,586 --> 00:06:23,931
Then he adds the flour
100
00:06:23,931 --> 00:06:26,172
Into an industrial-sized
Dough mixer
101
00:06:26,172 --> 00:06:29,620
That has hooked mixing arms.
102
00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:32,310
He adds fresh yeast,
Milk powder,
103
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:35,689
And enough water to bind
The ingredients together.
104
00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:38,965
He places the safety cage
Over the dough mixer.
105
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:43,724
As the hook agitators blend
The ingredients, gluten forms.
106
00:06:43,724 --> 00:06:46,793
Glutens will give
The panettone structure.
107
00:06:46,793 --> 00:06:49,379
Sugar will feed the growth
Of the yeast.
108
00:06:49,379 --> 00:06:53,827
The agitators evenly
Distribute it in the dough.
109
00:06:53,827 --> 00:06:56,310
Meanwhile the baker cracks eggs
110
00:06:56,310 --> 00:07:00,344
And separates the yolks
From the whites.
111
00:07:00,344 --> 00:07:03,827
He weighs the yolks
And adds them to the mix.
112
00:07:03,827 --> 00:07:07,758
This panettone recipe
Calls for egg yolks only.
113
00:07:07,758 --> 00:07:11,000
Yolks provide fat to help
Emulsify the dough
114
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,517
And give it flavor.
115
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:17,620
To further enrich the flavor
Of the panettone,
116
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:20,000
He adds a generous
Amount of butter.
117
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,241
The mixer folds it
Into the dough.
118
00:07:25,034 --> 00:07:27,344
He transfers the dough
To a container
119
00:07:27,344 --> 00:07:30,137
And leaves it
To rise for 11 hours.
120
00:07:30,137 --> 00:07:33,034
This process is called
Proofing the dough.
121
00:07:33,034 --> 00:07:35,620
The dough undergoes
Multiple proofings.
122
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:39,241
In between each proofing period,
The baker deflates the dough
123
00:07:39,241 --> 00:07:41,137
And returns it to the mixer.
124
00:07:41,137 --> 00:07:44,620
During this process,
The yeast consumes sugar,
125
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:48,103
So he adds more
To feed the process.
126
00:07:48,103 --> 00:07:51,241
Next, he adds more
Of the other ingredients,
127
00:07:51,241 --> 00:07:54,724
And the mixer kneads them
Into the dough for one hour.
128
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:58,724
The mixer works the dough,
Creating bands of elasticity,
129
00:07:58,724 --> 00:08:03,413
So that the dough
Will stretch during rising.
130
00:08:03,413 --> 00:08:05,241
In the final mixing stage,
131
00:08:05,241 --> 00:08:10,241
The baker adds vanilla extract
For another flavor dimension.
132
00:08:10,241 --> 00:08:12,482
While
The dough mixer distributes it,
133
00:08:12,482 --> 00:08:15,068
He measures fruit by weight.
134
00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:19,068
The panettone recipe calls
For two parts raisins,
135
00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,241
One part candied orange pieces,
136
00:08:21,241 --> 00:08:23,655
And one part candied
Lemon pieces.
137
00:08:26,965 --> 00:08:30,034
The mixer folds them
Into the dough.
138
00:08:30,034 --> 00:08:31,655
After another proofing,
139
00:08:31,655 --> 00:08:35,137
The baker slices the fruited
Dough into chunks.
140
00:08:35,137 --> 00:08:39,517
Some of the water in the dough
Will evaporate during baking
141
00:08:39,517 --> 00:08:43,896
And the panettone
Should end up about two pounds.
142
00:08:43,896 --> 00:08:49,068
He shapes each chunk
Into a uniform mold
143
00:08:49,068 --> 00:08:50,413
And leaves the dough chunks
144
00:08:50,413 --> 00:08:53,172
To rise for an hour
In a warm chamber.
145
00:08:56,137 --> 00:09:01,413
Instead of metal pans, panettone
Is baked in these paper molds.
146
00:09:01,413 --> 00:09:05,344
The molds will also be used
As retail packaging.
147
00:09:05,344 --> 00:09:08,000
After about an hour
In the warming chamber,
148
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,724
The dough chunks
Have doubled in size.
149
00:09:10,724 --> 00:09:13,379
The baker works them
Into a rounder form
150
00:09:13,379 --> 00:09:16,896
And transfers them
To paper molds.
151
00:09:16,896 --> 00:09:20,620
Then it's back into the warming
Chamber for another proofing.
152
00:09:20,620 --> 00:09:22,172
As the dough rises,
153
00:09:22,172 --> 00:09:26,517
The round shape is contained
By the paper molds.
154
00:09:26,517 --> 00:09:29,793
After six hours, he takes out
The molds and carves
155
00:09:29,793 --> 00:09:32,482
Crosses into the risen dough.
156
00:09:32,482 --> 00:09:37,103
He adds small pieces of butter
To the middle of each cross.
157
00:09:37,103 --> 00:09:39,724
After 24 hours of preparation,
158
00:09:39,724 --> 00:09:42,551
The panettones are ready
To be cooked.
159
00:09:42,551 --> 00:09:47,758
They bake for 45 minutes
At 320 degrees fahrenheit.
160
00:09:47,758 --> 00:09:51,344
Once complete, he quickly
Spears each panettone
161
00:09:51,344 --> 00:09:55,551
With a metal rod near the base
And hangs it upside down.
162
00:09:55,551 --> 00:09:58,275
The panettones cool for up
To 24 hours
163
00:09:58,275 --> 00:10:01,448
In this upside-down
Suspended state.
164
00:10:01,448 --> 00:10:05,172
This stretches the warm breads
To give them their dome shape
165
00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:08,620
And stops them
From caving inward.
166
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:12,655
Once cooled, the panettones are
Ready to be wrapped for retail.
167
00:10:17,068 --> 00:10:20,655
All that proofing has allowed
The flavors to mature
168
00:10:20,655 --> 00:10:24,724
And the fluffy texture
To develop.
169
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:27,068
The yeast will act
As the preservative,
170
00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:31,827
Keeping this italian christmas
Bread fresh for up to 30 days.
171
00:10:48,068 --> 00:10:51,655
Narrator: the saxophone was
Invented in the mid-1800s
172
00:10:51,655 --> 00:10:52,862
By adolphe sax,
173
00:10:52,862 --> 00:10:55,586
The son of belgium's chief
Instrument maker.
174
00:10:55,586 --> 00:10:59,586
With the saxophone, sax blended
The power of a brass horn
175
00:10:59,586 --> 00:11:02,172
With the nuances
Of a woodwind instrument.
176
00:11:02,172 --> 00:11:04,448
This instrument has the ability
To sound
177
00:11:04,448 --> 00:11:07,448
Bright and edgy
Or dark and moody.
178
00:11:09,517 --> 00:11:13,068
Even though it's made of brass
Or high-copper alloys,
179
00:11:13,068 --> 00:11:16,551
The saxophone is technically
A woodwind instrument.
180
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:18,413
That's because it produces sound
181
00:11:18,413 --> 00:11:22,275
By vibrating a reed
Attached to the mouthpiece.
182
00:11:22,275 --> 00:11:24,655
The process of making
A saxophone
183
00:11:24,655 --> 00:11:28,206
Starts with a long brass
Or copper sheath.
184
00:11:28,206 --> 00:11:31,896
A hydraulic punch cuts the metal
Into rectangles.
185
00:11:31,896 --> 00:11:35,413
After tracing a flared pattern
Onto one piece of metal,
186
00:11:35,413 --> 00:11:37,896
A craftsman aligns the pattern
With the punch
187
00:11:37,896 --> 00:11:39,827
To cut out the part.
188
00:11:39,827 --> 00:11:44,068
This part will now be formed
Into the saxophone's bell.
189
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,517
The worker folds it around
The metal rod
190
00:11:46,517 --> 00:11:48,620
And pounds it
With a wooden stick
191
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,310
To do some initial shaping.
192
00:11:54,448 --> 00:11:59,517
This takes the part from flat
To three dimensional.
193
00:11:59,517 --> 00:12:01,586
After the seam has been welded,
194
00:12:01,586 --> 00:12:04,551
More hammering rounds the shape
Substantially
195
00:12:04,551 --> 00:12:07,689
And improves
On the flare at the end.
196
00:12:07,689 --> 00:12:10,862
Next, the craftsman repeatedly
Pounds the flare
197
00:12:10,862 --> 00:12:13,103
To form it into a bell.
198
00:12:13,103 --> 00:12:15,172
Hand-hammering shapes the metal
199
00:12:15,172 --> 00:12:17,517
And also alters
The physical properties
200
00:12:17,517 --> 00:12:20,655
To make the sound
More resonant.
201
00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:22,724
Throughout
The forming of the instrument,
202
00:12:22,724 --> 00:12:24,931
It is heated with a torch.
203
00:12:24,931 --> 00:12:28,000
This makes the metal flexible
Enough to be shaped.
204
00:12:31,241 --> 00:12:34,275
Next, he slides the bell
Onto a form.
205
00:12:37,379 --> 00:12:42,586
He brushes lubricant onto
The metal...
206
00:12:42,586 --> 00:12:45,413
And lowers a roller.
207
00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:49,758
The form spins the curved
Bell against the roller,
208
00:12:49,758 --> 00:12:52,344
Which smoothes out dents
And forces the bell
209
00:12:52,344 --> 00:12:54,965
To conform
To the dimensions of the roller.
210
00:12:59,655 --> 00:13:02,862
The rolled saxophone bell
Is the one on the right.
211
00:13:02,862 --> 00:13:04,689
It's dramatically different.
212
00:13:07,241 --> 00:13:11,482
Now we can see the
Saxophone's body take shape.
213
00:13:11,482 --> 00:13:15,275
It starts with this piece of
Metal that's wider at one end.
214
00:13:15,275 --> 00:13:19,000
The operator places it
Under a cone-shaped form.
215
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,275
Using hydraulics, it descends
To fold the part
216
00:13:22,275 --> 00:13:25,275
And imprint the cone shape
On the metal.
217
00:13:25,275 --> 00:13:26,793
After more forming,
218
00:13:26,793 --> 00:13:30,655
Another worker welds the seams
To complete the cone.
219
00:13:30,655 --> 00:13:33,758
This part of the instrument
Is also called the tube.
220
00:13:36,689 --> 00:13:39,241
Meanwhile, the forming work
On the saxophone bell
221
00:13:39,241 --> 00:13:41,620
Has been completed.
222
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:45,000
A worker locks the upper part
Of the bell into a machine
223
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,655
And turns the punch device
To cut the tone holes.
224
00:13:49,655 --> 00:13:53,103
Sound waves will be emitted
Through both the open tone holes
225
00:13:53,103 --> 00:13:55,241
And the bell's flare.
226
00:13:55,241 --> 00:13:57,655
Later, another worker
Aims a torch
227
00:13:57,655 --> 00:14:00,448
At the saxophone body
To soften the metal,
228
00:14:00,448 --> 00:14:05,379
So that the rims of the tone
Holes can now be formed.
229
00:14:05,379 --> 00:14:09,931
He slides the body onto a steel
Mandrel with round inserts.
230
00:14:09,931 --> 00:14:13,586
He aligns the tone holes
With holes on the mandrel.
231
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:17,620
He sets a guide rack on top,
Aligning the holes in the rack
232
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:19,689
With the holes
In the instrument.
233
00:14:19,689 --> 00:14:22,000
He inserts tools
Through the holes
234
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,103
And threads them into the round
Inserts in the mandrel.
235
00:14:27,448 --> 00:14:30,344
A support bracket props
Up the tools.
236
00:14:30,344 --> 00:14:34,379
Using the tools, he pulls
The inserts through the holes.
237
00:14:34,379 --> 00:14:38,413
This forms a rim
Around each hole.
238
00:14:38,413 --> 00:14:40,862
The raised edging
Will allow key cups
239
00:14:40,862 --> 00:14:43,344
To close the tone
Holes effectively.
240
00:14:46,413 --> 00:14:50,379
The craftsman drills the rims
To smooth and level them.
241
00:14:50,379 --> 00:14:52,896
This will prevent gaps
That could affect the sound
242
00:14:52,896 --> 00:14:55,965
Of the instrument
When the key cups close.
243
00:14:59,689 --> 00:15:01,413
The next part is the bow,
244
00:15:01,413 --> 00:15:05,965
Which will link
The saxophone bell and body.
245
00:15:05,965 --> 00:15:07,965
The craftsman brushes
A cleaning agent
246
00:15:07,965 --> 00:15:10,379
Known as flux onto one end.
247
00:15:10,379 --> 00:15:12,068
He connects the two parts
248
00:15:12,068 --> 00:15:15,517
And applies more flux to
The bell where it meets the bow.
249
00:15:18,344 --> 00:15:21,689
He then melts solder where
The two parts come together,
250
00:15:21,689 --> 00:15:24,793
Completing this
Critical connection.
251
00:15:24,793 --> 00:15:27,413
The solder makes the joint
Airtight.
252
00:15:30,379 --> 00:15:34,482
He turns over the bell and bow
Assembly to complete the job,
253
00:15:34,482 --> 00:15:38,137
Ensuring that the solder
Encompasses the entire joint.
254
00:15:40,758 --> 00:15:45,172
He dabs water onto the soldered
Joint to cool it down.
255
00:15:45,172 --> 00:15:48,482
But before this saxophone
Is ready to make music,
256
00:15:48,482 --> 00:15:51,862
A few more steps
Must be taken for good measure.
257
00:16:03,448 --> 00:16:05,965
Narrator: the saxophone
Has tonal qualities
258
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,103
Similar to those
Of the human voice.
259
00:16:08,103 --> 00:16:11,344
Its sound can range from sultry,
Dark tones
260
00:16:11,344 --> 00:16:13,482
To high-pitched exuberance.
261
00:16:13,482 --> 00:16:16,034
It's no wonder the saxophone
Has found a place
262
00:16:16,034 --> 00:16:20,965
In many music styles from jazz
To pop to the classics.
263
00:16:23,206 --> 00:16:26,965
The standard saxophone has
23 different tone holes
264
00:16:26,965 --> 00:16:30,103
And an equal number
Of key cups to close them.
265
00:16:30,103 --> 00:16:35,206
At this factory, each key cup
Is assembled by hand.
266
00:16:35,206 --> 00:16:38,758
A craftsman arranges the parts
Of a key cup in a fixture
267
00:16:38,758 --> 00:16:41,310
To position them for soldering.
268
00:16:41,310 --> 00:16:43,862
He inserts a rod that will act
As an alignment
269
00:16:43,862 --> 00:16:47,206
And positioning tool.
270
00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:49,724
He applies flux to clean
The part
271
00:16:49,724 --> 00:16:52,931
And melts silver solder
Into the connecting points.
272
00:16:55,517 --> 00:16:57,655
To prevent the parts
From sliding,
273
00:16:57,655 --> 00:17:01,965
The craftsman uses pincers
To adjust their position.
274
00:17:03,517 --> 00:17:09,034
Other keys are grouped together
On a brass plate known as a rib.
275
00:17:09,034 --> 00:17:12,172
He spaces the key posts
Evenly on a rod
276
00:17:12,172 --> 00:17:15,241
That serves
As an alignment tool.
277
00:17:15,241 --> 00:17:19,344
Several overhead clamps hold
The posts in place on the rib.
278
00:17:21,931 --> 00:17:25,241
He applies the chemical cleaner
To the base of the post
279
00:17:25,241 --> 00:17:27,758
And the plate around them.
280
00:17:27,758 --> 00:17:30,586
Silver solder is melted
Around the post,
281
00:17:30,586 --> 00:17:34,103
And as it solidifies,
It fuses them to the plate.
282
00:17:37,344 --> 00:17:41,000
Next, the craftsman removes
The overhead clamp system.
283
00:17:44,103 --> 00:17:47,758
After sliding keys onto the ends
Of the alignment rod,
284
00:17:47,758 --> 00:17:51,275
He positions the assembly
On the saxophone body.
285
00:17:51,275 --> 00:17:54,655
He closes the keys onto
The corresponding tone holes
286
00:17:54,655 --> 00:17:56,103
And solders the base plate
287
00:17:56,103 --> 00:17:58,620
To the lower part
Of the saxophone body.
288
00:18:02,241 --> 00:18:04,379
He brushes water onto the solder
289
00:18:04,379 --> 00:18:07,965
To accelerate the cooling
And solidification.
290
00:18:07,965 --> 00:18:09,896
He then removes
The alignment rod
291
00:18:09,896 --> 00:18:12,344
And uncaps the tone holes
For now.
292
00:18:15,206 --> 00:18:18,310
A cleaning agent is brushed onto
The back of a rib
293
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:22,344
That supports
A second grouping of key posts.
294
00:18:22,344 --> 00:18:25,931
He solders the rib to the upper
Part of the saxophone body
295
00:18:25,931 --> 00:18:28,068
And takes the alignment rod off.
296
00:18:30,551 --> 00:18:33,655
The posts have been installed
In a specific sequence
297
00:18:33,655 --> 00:18:37,413
To support extending keys
On a hinge rod.
298
00:18:37,413 --> 00:18:40,931
Later, another worker polishes
The bow and bell assembly
299
00:18:40,931 --> 00:18:44,620
Against a buffing wheel,
Which polishes the instrument
300
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:46,965
To remove smudges
Or fingerprints
301
00:18:46,965 --> 00:18:49,827
And give the brass parts
A mirror finish.
302
00:18:54,689 --> 00:18:57,862
They dip the brass
Saxophone parts in a bath
303
00:18:57,862 --> 00:19:02,551
Where sound waves help
Remove residual dirt and grease.
304
00:19:02,551 --> 00:19:05,275
There's also a chemical primer
In the bath
305
00:19:05,275 --> 00:19:08,517
That will help a lacquer bond
To the brass.
306
00:19:08,517 --> 00:19:11,482
A technician sprays the lacquer
Onto the brass
307
00:19:11,482 --> 00:19:15,206
To protect it
From corrosion and tarnish.
308
00:19:15,206 --> 00:19:17,482
Floral artwork will add
Visual flair
309
00:19:17,482 --> 00:19:21,448
To this copper saxophone bell.
310
00:19:21,448 --> 00:19:25,655
The copper has been painted
Black to make the art stand out.
311
00:19:25,655 --> 00:19:29,068
The artist follows the stencil
With an etching tool,
312
00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:32,206
Rotating it using
A twirling motion technique,
313
00:19:32,206 --> 00:19:34,206
Etching in fluid movements.
314
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:37,172
He doesn't stop until
He's completed a line
315
00:19:37,172 --> 00:19:40,896
To prevent any inconsistencies
In the engraving.
316
00:19:40,896 --> 00:19:44,448
After he completes the pattern,
He does detail work.
317
00:19:44,448 --> 00:19:49,413
This exposes the copper metal
And makes the art pop.
318
00:19:49,413 --> 00:19:51,896
Returning to the brass
Saxophone now,
319
00:19:51,896 --> 00:19:56,896
A technician screws long
Hinge rods to the posts.
320
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,517
He attaches the keys,
321
00:19:58,517 --> 00:20:02,689
Which have been equipped
With pads in the cups.
322
00:20:02,689 --> 00:20:06,206
A tiny screw secures
This grouping of keys.
323
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:11,862
He turns the saxophone over,
Inserts a light,
324
00:20:11,862 --> 00:20:17,241
And looks for escaping rays,
Making adjustments if needed.
325
00:20:17,241 --> 00:20:22,068
He installs needle springs under
The key rods and main hinge rod.
326
00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:24,172
They'll enable the keys
To spring back
327
00:20:24,172 --> 00:20:26,413
After they're pressed.
328
00:20:26,413 --> 00:20:31,137
He tests the spring action and,
Again, checks for light leaks.
329
00:20:31,137 --> 00:20:34,517
He now fits the bell bow
To the main body.
330
00:20:34,517 --> 00:20:37,517
There's a connecting ring
That holds them together,
331
00:20:37,517 --> 00:20:41,068
But he'll also lock them
In place with a screw.
332
00:20:41,068 --> 00:20:42,551
From start to finish,
333
00:20:42,551 --> 00:20:47,137
It takes about a month
To craft this saxophone.
334
00:20:47,137 --> 00:20:49,310
Whether it's made out
Of basic brass
335
00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:52,517
Or something a little showier,
The look of the instrument
336
00:20:52,517 --> 00:20:55,931
Can reflect
The saxophonist's playing style,
337
00:20:55,931 --> 00:20:58,655
But the tone of the instrument
Defines it.
