Bass Trombone Restoration Project #4 Pulling Apart the Trashed Slide

[@MrTBoneMalone]

So far, I'm amazed at how far you've gotten with that slide. If you're able to make that a usable slide, I'll be both astounded and impressed. I have my doubts.

[@Jared_De_Leon]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@drzoidberg71]

Looking good! I wish I had the money to purchase this when you finish. I loved this horn's brother when I played it in high school lol.

As someone who is a chemistry fanatic, I find it very amusing when you say "I'mma dip it in *the chemicals*"

[@TealCheetah]

I like how you're telling us about what you're doing and whats going on

[@derekhayes8209]

Thank you. Brilliant work! Look forward to the next stage

Woow, this is an impressive love ! You're amazingly skilled in dent work this was a bad one ! And you're also a great teacher. I wondered if the effects of annealing the metal would be cancelled by the amount of ''work hardening''caused by the dent work... I suppose it's not since you're not doing it. Thanks for this knowledge !

Hello im an avid trombone player funnily enough, im 15 and already have around 7 horns. I have such an interest in brass repair i was wondering if repair shops would even take a teenager? And how long would it take for me to get a basic understanding of the skills required.

[@leochavolla2263]

Best thing to do is go and ask! I know from experience that shops might not take you in right away due to insurance and liability issues. I know some have worked they way into the shop by being store clerks or cashiers first, so you might settle for that and eventually work in the shop. Once you near graduation you should check out MSCS Red Wing to get professional training. You might also find welding, machining, blacksmithing, and metalsmithing classes helpful for grasping the processes and materials relevant to repair. Good luck!

Helo dear sir How can i meet you after covid19’ Can i join your workshop to learn that beautiful work?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

You are welcome to visit my shop. I am near Albany New York. I am not training training students right now, but I may do some training on the computer some time in the future.

[@adnanskt6725]

Thanx for replaying to my query

[@solomonhf]

happened to me recently almost looks exactly like this cause the slide caught my feet when doing marching choreo really hope i can fix it cause its from the 70s and a great trombone

[@patoni860]

I have got out those kind of dents out but, I used two hammers. I held one on one side while I tap with the other on the other side

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I am trying to picture that, but I do not exactly understand how that would work. Could you please give some more information? I may want to try that technique in the next video. Thank you, Art

@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop using two hammers...hold one against one side of the dent...just hold in place...tap with other hammer on the otherside of the dent

[@palletcolorato]

Amazing!

[@karvartan]

great video!!!

[@ZERO-ky8vm]

where did you get your mandrels?

[@javierquesada798]

that work will be very interesting teacher

[@jaywilkoff9413]

I have an Olds F attachment trombone & the trigger mechanism is boken & a local repai shop told me that it needs to be reolaced. Since it is an old trombone & there are not any replacement parts available. What do you reccomend i should do?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

It is hard to say without seeing it. I think I would get a second opinion. Some shops only like to replace parts. Other shops will work with whatever is there and make it work. I hope this helps. Art

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

You've been able to salvage this Trombone Slide.

[@lotsabirds]

Going well 😌

[@chrisanderson119]

When my slide was dented in Marching band, a mellophone turned the wrong way. OUCH!

[@piumal100]

First of all I would like to thank you for giving us this knowledge of yours. I'm watching your video with great curiosity as to what to do with the price. I got something very valuable from this lesson of yours. That is, if a pipe needs to be stretched, it should be stretched gradually. In other words, I learned that we have to do it in order. I look forward to hearing more from you about Trombone Repair. I would be very happy if you could give me your email address.

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Thank you. My email is [e-mail] It sometimes takes me a while to respond though.

[@javierquesada798]

out of curiosity it would be better to heat up and start working I think you understand me

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

It usually is not a good idea to anneal trombone slide tubes. I will only do that if it is absolutely needed.
