    The horn section needs to keep away from the piano to minimise the risk of it falling on the instruments.

    Where could I get one of the magnetic dent kits? I have an old conn 20k that has a flat bottom on the body and I'm trying to fix it. It still plays great, it's just a little beat up and dented

    Awesome. How much did something like this cost? Specifically that type of dent work?

    By my guesstimations, I would say the dent work might be around $500 or less and the whole instrument would be around $3-5k

    Hi Wes, Is that a custom tool you use to pull the stuck slides or something you purchased? Tool used around the 30 second mark in the video.

    I assume most of your customers are schools. Right?

    50/50, although most of the large brass restorations you have seen are school.
