I just bought a small Conn trumpet and it needs some work 40$ for it was kind of high, but if it ain't worth 40 it ain't worth a nickel, valves and slides are pretty good for the go.. maybe.. some heat helps work dents out ?
Thank you I have soldered electronics in the past. I have an old T-Bone that I can practice on. It value if cleaned up and playable would be in the $75-$100 range. I think I will give it a go and see how it turns out.
Love the details on this video. Thank you 🙏🏼 I planning on getting a vintage clarinet tomorrow, and it requires a lot of maintenance. Can’t wait to change the corks myself versus taking it to the shop and spend more $. This will definitely help my pocket. 😇🙏🏼
Thank you! My instrument had just come back from the shop and didn't work! The guides were all misaligned. All the valve numbers were covered by the guide and the valves themselves were out of order. *smh Thanks for your quick fix it's all working and sounds great!
I've heard people say to strip off the lacquer as it obviously makes the instrument sound better because they see old pros with no lacquer on their instruments. No, old pros don't strip off the lacquer. They WEAR it off from years of playing many hours per day.
what diameters are the holes in the board? Thanks for these videos, I'm planning on fixing a clarinet and it's just a bit more complicated than a flute, so I'll need some help
I am very used to working with steel but different rules apply to brass. Thanks so much for your video, now I can tackle by brass job much better informed !
I did not know how important an accurate flat surface was hard to find until looking for a trombone slide stone. I have a small square that might work for this type of repair just need to find it.
A friend of mine bought one of the Yamaha knock-off flutes from China and it started to have problems after two months of use. The base of the mechanism started to separate from the body and when it was sent to the repair shop, it could not be soldered back on. The instrument was a piece of garbage and a waste of money.
Amazing video! I did something similar with a screwdriver up against the inside of the bend, and then used a hammer with gentle taps. I think the solid vibration/mechanical taps work well. And heat with penetrating oil, too. I'm learning a lot!
Thank you, this is very informative. Do you carry Dark honey gold Lacquer (cognac) spray to touch up an Alto P Mauriat 67RCL Saxophone? or do you know which color number that matches it?

My third turning slide is stucked, I forced it one tube from the of the tune is stuck how do I fix it? Moreover I don't have a repair shop any where around
I think dipping it in water is quenching the metal and adding some hardness. When you anneal metal, you want to let it cool very slowly to keep it soft.
