DEG Signature Eb/D Trumpet Straightened

So, this instrument came from my nephew's high school.  As you can see, marching band had taken it's toll.  Out of alignment, twisted, a creased bell flare and several dents in the bell throat and bow.  The lower inner tube of the main tuning slide was fused to the outer tube and the crook of that slide was detached from the lower inner tube.  Miraculously, the valves still worked!  

We can rebuild this!  We have the technology.  We can make it play faster, higher and shine it up to make it better than it was before.

Since this instrument was to become mine, I wasn't too concerned about matching the spanner braces.  I found a few that worked, shaped them and soldered them into place.  Perhaps, at a later date when I have the knowledge and the time, I will either silver plate these or acquire the correct parts to replace them.

Had to do a little tread repair as well
