Hi Wes, I do learn lots of repairs from your teachings, thanks so much for this valuable information you impart, I would like to know how you tighten a Clarinet Bell ring? hoping to hear from you. Thanks in advance(Y)

What method do you use for stripping lacquer from brass instruments? I’ve heard many methods but haven’t found one that works great yet.

[@wickdghost3639]

In a pinch you can also use a doming block as well an it gives you the same effect 😁

Any worry that if the player moves to a more humid climate with the wood expanding against the tighter ring?

I always just shimmed mine with lined paper lol

[@josephtein3835]

Hey Wes, thanks again. So no glue needed?

[@wesleemusicrepair9820]

I do not use glue. Tight press fit

[@erniearruda8861]

Not for wooden barrels due to it will shrink and expand to moisture climate and dry heated air. Note on plastic/ hard rubber barrels they are glued in, not pressed. On those barrels you can use glue.
