Frequently Asked Questions

What problems can post and key fitting tools address?

They can assist with excessive key play, binding, misaligned posts and improperly fitted hinge or pivot components.

How can I tell if a key is fitted correctly?


The key should move freely and consistently without binding, wobbling excessively or creating unnecessary friction.

Can post alignment be corrected without removing the key?


That depends on the instrument and repair. Some adjustments require partial or complete disassembly for safe access and accurate alignment.

About The Collection

Shop post and key fitting tools for aligning, fitting and adjusting woodwind instrument mechanisms. Properly fitted keywork should move freely without excessive side play, binding or unnecessary friction. These specialized tools help technicians address problems involving posts, hinge tubes, pivot points and related components during clarinet, flute, saxophone and other woodwind repairs. Select each tool according to the instrument and specific fitting procedure. Make adjustments gradually and inspect alignment frequently because excessive force can distort posts, keys or body-mounted components. Ferree’s Tools provides professional solutions for precise woodwind keywork repair.
