There's something soothing about watching you work those dents out...the sound of the rollers against the brass, it's pleasant. Nice work.

[@jessejohnson159]

OK Mr. Wes Lee, let me give you a different kinda "Atta Boy!"!! I saw the "Ferree's" label on the tool you're holding and did my searches and found the site where the tools you use are offered! 😍 I'm not planning on getting in to repairs like yours, but I've been doing custom sheet metal work on '56 and '57 Ford since '68. I've been drooling over the tools you demonstrated using since the first video I saw a week or so ago! Thanks for leaving the label exposed!! 👍🙋‍♂️

[@lembriggs1075]

Very nicely done! Thank you so much for making these videos! You are quite the brass smith!

Fantastic work, as always!!

[@wesleemusicrepair9820]

Thanks!

[@bjsauburn]

Thanks for showing the tools Wes. I was wondering how you do certain things. Is the solder for brass a special type? Very interesting!

[@vettepicking]

If you covered the top roller in rubber innertube piece it will reduced stretching the brass but still flatten dents...

I m really liking what you are doing Donald from louisiana

[@CDaisy-tp7hw]

Someone that builds/repairs guitars and other stringed instruments is called a luthier. What do you call someone that performs magic on these brass instruments the way you do?

[@ricoludovici2825]

Brasserie.

[@javierquesada798]

Mr. Lee, what is the name of the piece that supports the neck of the saxophone or if you have a video about it, thank you

👍👍👍

[@heltonsilva6666]

good night friend could you record a video of how to take time off the trumpet horns for example ??

[@wesleemusicrepair9820]

Happy to record video of trumpet, don’t understand “take time off”, please explain

[@heltonsilva6666]

@@wesleemusicrepair9820 how to remove clearances from the pistons ??

[@dougberrett8094]

Once again a very interesting video. I am curious about how you determine the order of operations. Is there a set protocol, or is it “fly by the seat of your pants.”

[@wesleemusicrepair9820]

I have a set that I have developed, but then you have to be prepared to modify your action. Everything is a little different. And different brands require slight mods to procedure

[@heltonsilva6666]

good morning friend, how many centimeters does this tool have??

[@wesleemusicrepair9820]

Conversion puts it to 43-44 centimeters

[@stannowak5086]
