Slingerland bugle part 1- 5/16/23- band instrument repair

5/16/23- starting a new multi part series on a vintage Slingerland 1 piston bugle. This has been in penetrating oil for the better part of 5-7 months. Still very difficult to get things to move. But all is well and now on to everything else.

[@mikekemsley1531]

Nice long soak didn't shift things, don't force it, get a bigger hammer, Haha, I love watching your vids, You have skill and patience in abundance.

[@cannon440]

You do such amazingly beautiful work. I don't understand how your clients can afford the time & effort you spend on a single instrument.

[@rootvalue]

Some people take out loans for sports cars. Others invest in the arts.

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! 🎺

[@marklapierre5629]

I'm binging this series.

[@garybrady9531]

Just wanted to say thank you for your content and contributions to your craft

[@bethcrane5780]

So enjoy watching you work on these instruments. Thanks for sharing!

[@contentdeleted539]

i love that little valve on it

[@davidwood351]

It’s a very satisfying sound when all your careful efforts work out and the pieces separate.

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

A pleasure, as usual, to see you working your magic on these instruments. I look forward to seeing the progress on this particular instrument in future instalments!

[@Gavosh1977]

I always enjoy your videos as a musician myself

[@HappyJ]

You always amaze me with your repair knowledge. Looking forward to the next step on this instrument.

[@meistudiony]

OMG, the sound of that slide coming out... sounded like a guy i used to have renting the apartment upstairs every weekend. Creaky bed and no box spring. hahaha

[@andy2nine7]

that instrument is so beautiful. thank you for giving it another chance to perform

[@catfishgray3696]

WES, GREAT START AND GREAT VIDEO...I'M READY LET'S GO TO WORK...SEE YOU WHEN...

[@MASI_forging]

Outstanding work man. 😃😃

[@michaelmadonia2628]

Love your videos. You are a true artist and the amount of time you spend on each horn is amazing. I wish you would talk more about the tool you pick for a certain job and when you are in the process, give a little more explanation on the How and Why you are doing things for the amateur instrument repair folks like me

[@rootvalue]

Love these long format series. Thanks Wes!

[@Jasonj___8]

Awesome Wes this is going to be a great series 👍👍

[@heloshark]

Incredible craftsmanship!

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

This gonna be a good series. Hooked already.

[@lotsabirds]

It's off to a great start!

[@KerryLorah]

Old time drum corps, right there.

[@vettepicking]

I do machining and repairs on brass items like art, furniture etc. I used flitz tarnish remover spray on a chair i was polishing and brazing, it looked like it was on the bottom of the ocean in a ship wreck. This spray just melted the tarnish off with no scrubbing. Try it

[@Tuca-Luthier.]

Good afternoon, do you know about the liquid he uses to solder, what components are

[@vettepicking]

@Tuca-Luthier. its just liquid flux for soft lead solder.

[@Tuca-Luthier.]

@@vettepicking so in Brazil they don't have it for sale, I would like to know if there is a way to prepare it with the correct acids, in Brazil there is only paste or else the flammable liquid flux

[@vettepicking]

@Tuca-Luthier. just use paste plumbing flux for copper pipe, use with small brush to apply it.

[@donaldwalker3738]

that one looks a lot like the one I played in the 60's in a drum and bugle organization while in Jr high school.

[@TheStickCollector]

They should really make more of these bugles if they dont already

[@pangjoems]

i just to share my exp..i used dishwashing soap and water..i heat the stuck tube and soak to the solution. I reheat and soak to the soap again and again until it loosen..i do these many times and its effective..

[@MikeT]

Cant wait to see the rest

[@drcornelius8275]

Is that some homemade penetrating oil? I use acetone and ATF but have also used kerosene and ATF too. Both are better than anything I''ve ever purchased to use.

[@clintonroushff7068]

Will a dented horn have a different tone? Would a high-school player notice a difference? I enjoy your work. I love it that you take an old instrument and bring it back to life.

[@cooperj149]

Nice seeing another one of your videos. If you may spare any information, do you have any tips for maintaining a wooden clarinet?

[@kristimiller-lee2338]

You should be able to search through the videos on the channel and find several on clarinet.

[@FONFBand]

Very nice. I love old drum and bugle corps instruments. That must be a baritone. Too big for a soprano.

[@jstep4146]

I think it's a trombone or alto bugle maybe.

[@rescue270]

This is a tenor-baritone. I have one just like it, in very similar condition.

[@jun1977i]

wonder if you can build an instrument from scratch? love the videos a lot of cool techniques, 👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@ms-mac521]

👍👍👍

[@mr.schwall6144]

I see you are using a different torch on the propane tank. How are you liking that? Pros and Cons? I'm looking to upgrade to a more precise torch option for more detail work. I really like your Little Smith set-up and was just curious about the new flame.......

[@mikerichards6311]

👍

[@David-fp3dz]

Great video. Why did you not anneal the tubes before straightening them?

[@barthanes1]

I wonder if penetrating oil in an ultrasonic cleaner would free up some parts faster.

[@Rohirok]

14:22 Relatable.

[@Quadstriker]

Is there any kind of story behind this bugle? How old approximately is it?

[@julimusik03]

One question, what liquid do you apply when you are welding? Thank you so much

[@Tuca-Luthier.]

Good afternoon, did you get the answers about the liquid he uses to solder

[@julimusik03]

@@Tuca-Luthier. no

[@Tuca-Luthier.]

@@julimusik03 I was researching and found something, but without any confirmation, it would be about diluting zinc in hydrochloric acid (muriatic), which turns into zinc chloride that is used in flux pastes.

[@matthewrinehart2367]

This is the style of piston that is in my Czech trumpet. What is the style called? I would like more information on how it goes together because there are both cork and felt in mine and I think it misaligns the valves as this is not the original configuration.

[@MusicMediccom]

Great work! We love watching your videos!

[@joserafaelojales]

I acquired two old bugles how can I show them to you?

[@carmcb]

What would a repair like this cost?

[@михаил-с9г2р]

Что это за труба , что за строй, всего один клапан . как она звучит ?

[@Digital-Dan]

Most of those things play horribly when new. One has to invest quite a bit to get a bugle or field trumpet that is of decent quality.

[@johnmears7664]

What torch is that?

[@robertjwilliams3532]

Wes or anyone - - how old is this instrument?

[@johns3106]

These were used by drum and bugle corps from the 1930’s - 1950’s.

[@Bonky_The_Radian]

each time I see a bugle that needs repair, the mouthpiece receiver is bent…

[@arthurn9237]

SIR AFTER WATCHING YOU REMOVE THE MOUTH PIECE TUBE ON THIS SINGLE PLUNGER HORNE (WAX) SIR GENTLE HEAT WITH A TORCH ☝️ GENTLE HEAT IS TECHNICALLY KNOWN AS A (CARBURIZING FLAME) NOT TO HOT AND SPREAD OUT OVER THE AREA BEING WORKED ON I'M SORRY IF I'VE BEEN A BOTHER TO YA BUT I JUST CAN'T HEP ME SEF 😉👍👍 I TRULEY ENJOY WATCHIN U PULL THESE OLD BUGGERS APART

Why would you want to fix that piece of junk. Nobody even uses them , unless its a junior marching band , just learning. Not worth it .
