For the audio edited reposted version version, go here:    • crushed trombone bell repair   Please push this one over 1M views. I am close. Pass this on to every band parent, band director and student you know! This severely dented trombone bell needed more than just dent work to make the damage disappear. It is just short of an overhaul due to monetary considerations and customer wishes. It turned out great and they were very pleased.

    "I've decided this doesn't meet my standards" Something only a professional would say, love it.

    After seeing the extent of the damage at the beginning, I just wish you'd had some video or picture of the owner's face when they got their instrument back. I know how I would have felt... Great restoration!!!

    At first glance, it looked like the sorting hat. Never thought this could be repaired

    I'm not a musician, know very little about instruments, and just dedicated 20 minutes watching this video. It was fascinating to see what this gentleman could do.

    Fantastic repair! Seeing the GETZEN brand name reminded me of Doc Severinsen who played GETZEN trumpets a couple of different times during his career. Many years before his gig with the Tonight Show band Severinsen came to our high school and performed with our band. He was not only a great professional trumpeter but one heck of a nice guy. He’s 92 years old now and I wish him well.
  • How does one do that type of damage to a bell I cringe at the smallest micro dent to my tuning slide

    I'm a musical instrument repairman in Japan. This video is very learning.
  • @herberar
    After playing Jazz for more than 30 years, I can't imagine how such a damage could had happened .
  • Real old world style craftsmanship done with hand work and basic tools. A joy to watch and learn from. Thank you sir!
  • Musical instruments are made to live and to sing. Seeing one come back to life and see another day like this one did is very rewarding. Excellent work.
  • When people complain about why repairs are so costly, this is an ideal video to show them the kind of effort that goes into a repair. This was not an easy repair and in the end it came out looking fantastic.
  • That was a miraculous trip back from the edge of a trash bin. This is one of those situations that requires a craftsman, rather than a machine. I struggled for three years in school with a trombone, before I convinced my parents that I had no talent with music. Fortunately this person must have been overjoyed to get the new trombone back. Great work.

    When you put the electrical tape on it I thought "Oh, thats where he will cut away the damaged part". I'm in awe of the skill shown to straighten that out.
  • @jameshopkins8205
    Thank God for the instrument Doctors. This would be a horrible world without you guys

    True, pure craftsmanship. Seems everthing today is just replace, sad. A dying art. I love what this master craftsman just did. As a trombone player, I've seen this damage and worse, but luckily not on mine.

    I am a novice coppersmith, I learn a lot from watching all these videos on how to repair wind instruments, I do use some of the techniques shown in removing kinks/warps/damages to brass and apply them for copper, for example the SS solid rod mandrel you used to remove the creases or the use paraffin /wax before rubbing against a dent hammer, the marker trick etc. all could be applied on copper . thank you for making this sort of videos and keep it up.
  • @guloguloguy
    ....WOW!!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE SO WILLING TO SHARE THE METICULOUS PROCESS WITH US!!! SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT FULLY APPRECIATE EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!! I'LL BET THAT MUCH OF YOUR WORK INVOLVES YOUR GOOD "SENSE OF TOUCH", A "GOOD EYE", AND "FEEL" FOR THE SUBTLE PROGRESSION OF RESHAPING THE METAL! => THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!!!
  • Wish everybody had the same level of standard and sense of pride in their work. Very nice!
  • @ZCV7853
    True artisan. To know when you can do better and start again takes a commitment that few people have today. Thank you for such a beautiful display of craftsmanship. Keep up the great work!
  • @baccus61
    Magic watching the creases disappear before my eyes. Great videos Jim. Great work!
