A real key modification in progress

The addition of a high F# key is an example of our key modification work. When performing key modifications, it's critical not only to produce the desired modification, but also to produce a cosmetically pleasing result. Here at Tenor Madness, we pride ourselves on making even the most intricate key work look as original as possible.
