Some before/after shots of work done on a beautiful yamaha xeno Bb trumpet recently in for an overhaul. Gold brass is extremely soft and this horn had been packed unfortunately in a suitcase causing some crush injuries. Valves slides pushed out of alignment too necessitating refitting of valves and lapped to smooth action.....all good now and customer says it's playing better than before it's injuries!.....great to get this horn playing again

Schilke B5 trumpet that met with a fall on tarmac....some deep scratches in the silver plate which will remain but smoothed out with buffing machine but a good result overall o think. Now onto valve and slide overhaul. A 30yr old instrument that should give many more years of service!
