    I would not have thought that would turn out even close to as well as it did. And I was a tinbender for years.

    Sir, you are a master. I would never believe that bell could be straightened out. Job well done. About how much do you charge for fixing a disaster like this?

    Very nice. I like to use burnish tape and thick oil and that works great to avoid marring 😊

    The people who tell you to heat it up have a point. After being worked into that quite complicated shape the brass would be work-hardened quite a bit. Heating it to a certain point, a mere 300-400°C should do, you WOULD make your life a lot easier.

    Wes, I have acquired a trumpet from a storage locker sale. It is a H N White b flat/C trumpet that I think was manufactured in the early 1900s. It came with several issues such as the bell badly damaged along with many other dents in the tubing. Also two of the valve caps were missing. The only one that was there was the center one. After having it repaired now some of the tuning slides move but not all and none of the tubing dents have been removed. The valve caps have been replaced but they are all different. Can and are you willing to help me?

    Lovely work. I had no idea anyone could restore a horn that badly crumpled. That brass is so thin, I would be afraid to attempt this. All done with the metal cold, with pure muscle.

    It's hard to explain just how thin the bell of a French horn really is. I learned when I first started playing the French horn at the age of 11 that the slightest fingertip pressure on the bell can be seen through the metal. I can't understand how people abuse musical instruments. My trumpet is 60 years old and still plays as well as it ever did.

    That's funny cause the same thing happened to me: a couple weeks ago I saved an early Elkhart Bach Strad 25 large bore to be thown in the trash by it's confused old guy owner. It needs serious work but oh god how beautiful it sounds!
