I haven't used this particular torch, but I've seen many similar torches. It will probably work fine. If you haven't soldered on a brass instrument before, it would probably be a good idea to get someone who has to show you how. There is a knack to soldering things back together without making a mess.

I don't know what stores you have available to you, but I purchased a small butane torch with a butane refill for much less than $30 from Lowes. It doesn't get hot enough to braze, but it is perfect for soldering brass instruments.
