    The magnetic dent balls always amaze me. And thank you donor horn.

    The horn section needs to keep away from the piano to minimise the risk of it falling on the instruments.

    Where could I get one of the magnetic dent kits? I have an old conn 20k that has a flat bottom on the body and I'm trying to fix it. It still plays great, it's just a little beat up and dented

    Hi Wes, Is that a custom tool you use to pull the stuck slides or something you purchased? Tool used around the 30 second mark in the video.

    Awesome. How much did something like this cost? Specifically that type of dent work?

    • @TheStickCollector
      @TheStickCollector 2 роки тому

      By my guesstimations, I would say the dent work might be around $500 or less and the whole instrument would be around $3-5k

    I assume most of your customers are schools. Right?

      50/50, although most of the large brass restorations you have seen are school.
