Here is a typical bent bell stem that I show a partial repair on. The rest was done off camera with a time crunch. I didn't film it all but you get the idea.
Love watching these! I once saw a sales person (no kidding) drop a vintage Olds Ambassador cornet on the floor when he was pulling it off the wall hanger. It actually bounced a couple of times off the uncarpeted floor. Amazingly there was no damage. Those horns were bullet proof.
Master instrument repairman! Thanks for sharing your world Jim!

Just like an Olds 88. Oldsmobile, that is. Great horns.
I’d love to see the next stage of the process, Jim!
Greg, I know. I need to do another before and after. Thanks for watching. Hope your horn is doing well.
