STRAIGHTENING A BRASSWIND MOUTHPIECE SHANK

[@leogolive]

My trombone mouthpiece is misshapen like that. It came that way and I ordered the trombone new. Can this have a negative effect on my playing or tone?

[@mattkins752]

thanks for this

[@anglegrinder]

I have tuba mouthpiece that i was thinking i could fix but it is so beyond repair, while in the stands it fell directly onto the the end of the shank and bulged out

I couldn't tell for sure without having it in hand but you may be able to restore it.

Scan I use a regular hammer?

[@jlsmithco]

It depends on what is meant by regular. I would not recommend a metal hammer. Such a too will "peen" the metal and mark it rather than form it. A plastic hammer is ideal in my opinion.

I think the mouthpiece tool is too pricey I would pay 20$ not 40$

Thanks for your comment Rodrigo.

Cheaper than paying 60+ for a new mouthpeice

@@blakewojtysiak5424 For tubas and higher end mouthpieces of all types it's more like 100-200
