Can Anyone Recommend A Horn Restorer???
I had to post this. It is really being sold on Ebay right now. PARTS??????. What part is there in this that one can still use......the lock button????.........
.I think his Wife may not have like the tune he was playing at the time
. What a shame to see a horn that was clean and bright with a very nice decal go to waste.

Re: Can Anyone Recommend A Horn Restorer???
There are people who restore band instruments that could probably fix this horn up. Contact your local high school band department and ask who they use. Students are very rough on brass band instruments and these get smashed and rebuilt all the time. In my opinion all these dents and creases can be removed using the specialized skills and tools band instrument repair technicians have and use to restore band instruments. Its really kinda like auto body work.
There are technicians who deal directly with schools and don't have retail stores. They go to the schools pick up the broken horns, repair/restore them and take them back to the school. Most will take independent jobs too!!

"damaged in shipping" must have been UPS.
That is one sad looking horn.

That horn was made that way. It's for a rare Crumplephone!
