Repairing and Modifying a Bach Stradivarius Trumpet

Follow along as I apply my Factory correction modification to this Bach Stradivarius Trumpet.

[@peeemm2032]

Always great to watch a master craftsman at work! I'd definitely watch a 3hr video of this resto - especially if it was broken up into 1/2hr parts....

[@cmorales5]

I saw every minute of this video. I love Stradivarius trumpets. The way you work the instrument... with care, with respect to the design. You did a great job to bring that trumpet back to life. Excellent job! Excellent video.

[@carlrasmussen3267]

I include a little O-ring before the first 3rd slide stop nut to eliminate noise when kicking the slide. A tiny felt washer would work, too.

[@danharrold8011]

Awesome job! So rewarding to watch the transition back to beauty. I would love see you refinish a lacquered Bach Strad and how you prepare/ tint and finish your clear. Great work !

Одно удовольствие смотреть как мастер делает свою работу

[@carlosdomingoveliz]

extraordinario trabajo de restauración mis felicitaciones amigo...

[@tedjones2134]

Wow! I can't believe I watched an hour about restoring a Bach Strad 37 which is my (1985) horn. I have a local "wizard" who maintains my horns, but this is so eye opening. My only modifications are adding a brace on the 3rd valve slide to enable me to play it as an 'A' Trumpet, and 'O' rings from my local hardware store on the 3rd valve slide to reduce 'clanking' as I play the low notes. Love the video, love the care you took, 5* if I could give it to you! Bravo to You!!!!

Simply beautiful work!

[@ginelleamps]

Amazing job and the demo at the end was really great! You made that horn sound focused and huge!

[@haroldrushton6735]

Wow! That was amazing work you did on that trumpet. Well done. 👍

[@chickimac1]

Best tech I’ve seen on KZbin! His attention to detail is like no other👍😎🎺

[@woutervanderes]

That was so relaxing to watch! Keep the videos coming please

Снимаю шляпу перед мастером! ...невероятно!

[@sebastiaojuliano5013]

Sensacional!!!! Fantastico !!!! Você é muito bom no que faz!

[@arts4691]

Very good understsndable and great video ! Respect for that great Job with trumpet snd video.

[@bonerici]

It's lovely. Never seen such a great repair. I only have a king 600 so I could never justify such a restoration luckily mine is still in fine shape

[@cmorales5]

I “lost” two Stradivarius and my trumpet at this time is also a King Cleveland 600 silver plated. It works and I respect her... I hope to someday have a Stradivarius again... it won’t get lost in a stupid sell...

[@VistarCreative]

Very talented, down-to-earth guy. New sub. I look forward to watching more!

[@ejpilot3725]

I love watching stuff like this

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

I enjoyed that, thank you. Let's hope the lovely trumpet is properly looked after from this point on.

[@ramrod175]

That was amazing. I wish I had a Horn like that!

[@jaegertiger384]

I have the CLASSIC '65 Strad I bought when it was brand new. I remember how it smaller when I opened the case for the 1st time.

[@dlg2009]

Wonderful

[@fleurafricaine5740]

Great work. Fun to watch. Instructive. That horn took major abuse. Disregard bordering contempt.

[@bottomup12]

Nice channel. I mainly watch Wes Lee, the house of tone, but added yours too.

[@ericturner2477]

Zen and the art of trumpet polishing 🙂

[@enitalp]

Your neighbor’s subwoofer is very strong 🎉

[@trumpetdivine]

That's pure shop noise haha.

[@tommurphy4895]

Amazing! What was the history of this horn? Was the restoration for the original owner? They must have been thrilled!

[@dwgibson2000]

Do you think a wooden, or maybe 3D printed plastic form for inside the bell would work? Was also thinking of casting an aluminum one. Steel ones for sale are expensive.

[@user-ed4jb3in8p]

SUPER!!! 👍👍👍🎺🎺🎺

[@tesmith47]

Damn man, you get the hero badge, my man!!!

[@dwgibson2000]

Great video, interesting to see all the different kinds of skills and tools used for the range of damage. I'm the son of a blacksmith and I am curious though, is the amount of repair and overall cost of that much repair worth it for the cost vs value of that trumpet? My father's business eventually went out of business in 2005 due to culture migrating to a throw away society. I wish I'd thought of him maybe migrating his shop into instrument repair before that as he had the skills, he could make or fix anything and refused to migrate to much of any kind of modern ways, but his shop was geared to repair of small motors and repair & manufacturing obsolete parts made mostly of steel.

[@chef7734]

How do you assure you keep the proper bell taper on the Bach trumpets for the different Bach Bells? Do you have different bell mandrels for your repairs?

[@dwgibson2000]

Also curious, how many hours did this 1 trumpet take total?

[@ericturner2477]

Fascinating. You're like a chiropractor for trumpets. Impressive craftsmanship. Where did you learn how to do this? Have you ever come across a trumpet that couldn't be repaired? I had a Bach 37* in high school. Haven't played for years, but I just picked up a used Bach 43 to start practicing again.

[@robertbelardo7087]

Great job on the trumpet

[@sirnicholas5542]

You know the vid gonna be good when the creator’s icon is just a letter on a monochrome bg

[@trumpetdivine]

Lol! I'm not a fancy person by any means.

[@The_Stacey_Family]

how can I contact you to repair my daughter's Strad? it got stepped on the dent was removed but it still has some creasing along with some smaller dents.

[@slektektiv]

Once had a Strad that a collegue of mine dropped so that the bell got damaged in a kind of «spirally fashion». Was almost hypnotized looking at it as I was going on stage and had to play it just minutes after…) - Long story short: got it repaired, but after that it kind of «died», soundwise. I don´t know if that is known to happen? Could it be that the metal stretched in the repair process? Or was it just in my head, because of the «trauma»…?😅

[@gregorysloat4258]

Beautiful work. Do you take new customers/projects?

[@jbmusicschool]

Speaking of synthetic pads, where do you get yours? I have been looking and can't seem to find the right ones. Can you help?

[@FONFBand]

Well done! Question: The way you stood when you played... are you a drum corps guy?

[@jorgeandres404]

Super impressed with your work! Are you accepting repair work? I have a trumpet I’d the dents removed from the bell and a couple of small dents in the tubing that goes into valve casing. If so, do you have a website or can you provide your contact information? Thanks!

[@bostonfilipino]

Incredible video! What’s the name of your shop? Maybe I’ll send you some horns!

[@Paddy-power]

Just a suggestion. In stead of placing the oxidized parts on carpet would of been better to use an extra rug or suitable cloth.

[@dwgibson2000]

do you work on saxophones?

[@MultiTrumpetman]

Hello! I am looking for old and good condition 3 rd valve for stradivarius 37.

[@chrismoody1342]

Just kills me how these horns get so beat up. I mean I’ve got a 1929 King Liberty that’s been passed thru 5 family members hands with what I would call near perfect condition. Dent free, but the silver plate has worn thru where fingers have rubbed thru and the gold wash inside the bell is thin.

[@mykehart3488]

I want to know what to expect to pay for this type of repair.

[@jonathanfagtanan7636]

how much it will cost for restoration?

[@trumpetdivine]

Feel free to call me at Palen Music Center in Springdale Arkansas to discuss pricing.

[@cmorales5]

I bet it could be a $500 plus... and it’s worth the investment to restore a Bach.

[@Paddy-power]

It could go for 1000 too much repair and cleaning

[@jonabitstream]

I'd like to know what this work cost your customer. Looks quite expensive.

[@newunderthesun7353]

Suggestion: Buy a tripod.

[@Lil_Beany6969]

[@Zigrund]

Зачёт!
