Some daily repairs at Music and Arts, Guitar Center Distribution Center, Brownsburg, Indiana






Here are some of the basic tools I used in repairing the two trombone tuning crooks in the previous two videos.


Here is an extraction of the tip of a cleaning snake and the drilling of a water key hole on a Blessing French Horn in F.










Play conditioning a student trombone.



Reattaching a detached trumpet mouthpipe.

I had to disassemble in order to straighten the s-braces.

As I was disassembling, the upper inner tube of the main tuning slide detached from the crook revealing a broken solder joint.  It was like an old house, a surprise around every corner and behind every wall:-)






Here's another rattled trumpet that came across my bench.  Bent and twisted, detached s-braces and a snapped bell-to-second-casing cross brace.












Here is some dent work I did on a student trumpet who's operator obviously wanted to play drums:-)



Crinkled bell throat smoothened.
