Hi, I have this dent on the base of my gramophone horn and I was wondering if anyone knows a good technique on how to fix it?

If you have a vise available, you can clamp a tool in it that can reach inside the horn to push against. A heavy duty screwdriver works well. Clamp it in the vise so the handle is up. Slowly work out the dent from the inside out. If you don't have the stuff to do this, check with an auto body shop. They sometimes will take on small jobs like this.

I use dent balls to remove dents like that. Take it to your local band instrument repair guy and he will take care of it.
