How can I get the buttons on my tenor saxophone unstuck?
If they are stuck together, the best advice is to take it to a shop and have them look at it. If you can get them unstuck, but they are sticky and don't play well, take a dollar bill and use the coating on it to rub on the pads. Usually this helps. If it is a minor caseof sticking, you can try to fix it yourself, but if its not, then take it into a shop. hope this helped
Can you soak a tenor sax in water?
ABSOLUTELY not. You should never soak any instrument in water, especially a saxophone. Although trombone players can run water through their slide to clean it up, a saxophone player doesn't have that luxury. A saxophone is a very complex instrument as I'm sure you already know. Saxophones are one of the more expensive instruments in the band, and they should be taken care of that way too. I'm sure you also know that saxophones have pads under the keys. Soaking these pads will ruin the saxophone either quickly or eventually. Getting pads replaced in a sax is a big expensive job. If you're looking to clean your saxophone, purchase a swab to push through it a couple of times. That is how we clean our saxes! Take care of the horn, it's the best instrument in the band. ; )
What are facts about about the saxophone?
The saxophone is made of a cheaper metal, (often brass) and then lacquered in gold to give it its appealing look. The saxophone uses a reed, which vibrates against the mouthpiece to produce vibrations which result in sound. When you depress the keys on a saxophone, it lengthens or shortens the 'pipe' in the saxophone which will determine the pitch of the saxophone. the saxophone has pads which press against the key holes to make airtight seals, and the fingerkeys are often made of Mother-of-Pearl. The reed is attached to the mouthpiece with something called a ligature, which securely holds the reed in place. There are 4 common sizes of saxophone, and in order from smallest to largest they are, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. Saxophones often have 3 parts; the body, the neck and the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is attached to the neck and then the neck is attached to the body. These are just some of the millions of facts about the saxophone.
How do you fix sticking G sharp and C sharp keys on a soprano saxophone no bell?
What you need to do is locate which keys are sticking, the g sharp is usually under you finger that plays a g and the c sharp is about 3 pads under that. You either need a cloth, piece of laminated paper or a 5 dollar note(If Australian). You need to pry open the pad, don't force it, it should be easy to open. Then place your item in the middle, let go so it is closed with the piece of cloth etc and pull the cloth out a few times, the reason why it sticks is usually because of you saliva that can clog up the pads. If this doesn't work you will need to take it to a repairman.

How do you keep your brake pads from sticking on a 1993 mercury topaz the pads are good but it grinds?
I am not quite sure what you mean. If the pads are good, and the rotor's are good, and not out of round, then, the only thing left is that the calipers are seizing. Is this on one or both sides? When was the last brake job? Have the calipers been serviced? If you need to replace the calipers, ( best ) the cost is under $ 20.00 per side for rebuilt. Good luck.
