I think you must not make a to big deal about adjustments. I'm working regularly with a instrumentmaker to improve his horns. They just have to have a lot of experience to translate the feeling and wishes of the player to the instrument.

For instance if you want a opener sound, you can adjust the mpc receiver so it has a bigger gap, or adjust the braces to different places in the tuning slide. There are a lot of small things you can do to a instrument. Every good instrumentmaker knows them. That's why not all great trumpetplayers aren't playing Monette, there are more great horns outhere..
