You mention that that bell is (obviously) near to breaking off. If a part like that bell pipe should break, would it be repairable, or is the instrument scrap at that point? I watched you most recent video on taking the dent out before going back to find and watch these earlier episodes, and I was seriously wondering if it would have been feasible to break the bell at the crimp, reform the correct shape, and then splice it back together.
Super nice to see a detailed step-by-step video about restoration of an oldie... Simple question : I'm wondering what kind of torch are you using ? (air and propane ? oxygen-propane ? oxy-acetylene ?)
Very interesting.
Like a video on putting an after market tuning slide trigger on a Euphonium and an English baritone.
Nice! Looking forward to the next video!
Great video!
Enjojed watching waiting for next one.
What's the link for the pliers?

The torch is just acetylene without oxygen.
Let's see, 450 degrees, so that's lead-tin solder (which should melt ~ 370 degrees). Are any joints of a cornet attached with silver solder?
There are some silver solder joints, but I probably will not need to unsolder any of them.
Come on! Let’s see what you do with the bell
