Propane + air silver soldering small parts?

I have a few propane units .. some are large hardware store units that
I use for heating saxophone parts. But I need a small cheap propane
and AIR or that uses AIR not Oxygen (way too expensive $10 for 15
minutes is tooo much) to do silversoldering on small parts.

Forget that Bernzomatic low-pressure Oxygen, and get a real Oxygen tank
from a welding supply. My last fill of 80 Cu. Ft. of Oxygen was $23
including the cylinder rental for N years. The tank lasts me for years
before I need a refill. I used a bigger tank and regulator in place of
the Bernzomatic Oxy tanks for a while, but eventually got a "real" torch
on eBay, and moved up to a larger set of rental tanks.
