I have this same mellophone, I love it, glad to see others will get to enjoy them too

BEAUTIFUL WORK WES ! Thanks for the video

[@aubreefreeman7710]

mellos are such cool instruments. they have a beautiful warm sound and are such an addition to any band. we had about 9 this year in my marching band. we had a big brass feature that i was able to play in (i play trumpet) and the mellos sounded really good with the melody!

That looks like my melophone my first year of marching. All crushed up

[@JaxonGames2]

I did not no how you fixed a marching baritone that’s cool I play the trombone so I will have one of those

[@rolfdc2934]

Hi Wes, I wonder if it would help to warm up or even heat up the area of the instrument before you start working on it, my guess is that this could soften the metal a bit and make the repair easier.

[@Professor_Sex]

it can ruin the temper if there is any.

[@hampter6088]

I don't think he does because then how would he grab the metal and it can mess up the temper

[@Crazyclay78YT]

Brass is soft enough

[@halwk6797]

It would burn the lacquer and brass is soft enough that it usually isn't necessary.

[@AizenTheStrongestOne_]

These shorts are so good they make my day better❤

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

May I ask. Did you build the roller system yourself or is it available for purchase. I try to restore stainless pieces for antique autos, and could use a base starter kit. Thank you Sir, for sharing your talent and skills.

[@kristimiller-lee2338]

Ferree's tools has many items including the dent machine you reference.

I have never met a mello player that has been nice to my woodwind section

Bro that’s so sad. I’m a mello player and I love the woodwinds in my band.

Good work as always.

our school has one that was crushed back a little but and it looked like someone tried to rip the bell off

Do you mind me asking what are your rollers and steel shapes made from that you press the instruments into?

I play mello and my school has one significant worse than this, and it is no longer shiny. It’s used whenever one of ours is in the shop. We call it the Burnt Cheeto

Did did you have a customer walk in while you were starting this video?

[@D3lt4Music]

How do you fuck up a bell so badly? Did it get run over?

[@driftr3004]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s a marching f horn, maybe not. Amazing repair regardless though.

[@ckl5822]

Nice

[@Cay_k]

I've never seen a Mello where the lead pipe doesn't bend back around cornet style. Looks kinda like a weird flugelhorn.

[@buffalophil3630]

Wouldn't that change sounds of the instrument

[@Thatboytecca]

Cornet?

[@MelloKingMal05]

I always wondered how those wrinkles got fixed 🤣 never caused them but they were always in the used King horns I'd get.

[@ambarrivera6049]

not sure why i watched this but it was an interesting watch nonetheless

The most disturbing and painful thing to watch for all musicians is that one guy who holds the instrument in every incorrect way possible like holding the keys or the lines. Or for my saxists the guy who assembles the mouth peice but grabbing the neck on the octave key. And just forcing it on there with no wax or even grabbing just the neck or bottom part.

I remember getting my trombone back from the shop after it got bent so many times. If they didn't make them out of such a malleable metal, they'd be junk. Too bad you can't fix cars like that.
