Dave Mickley is on a distinguished road
when this freezing thing got popular about ten years or so ago, I showed one of the metalurgist at work the ad and asked him what he thought. He said with a brass instrument you might as well stand under a shade tree and play. the earier posts were right about relieving stress by heat, that is what we do at work to relieve stress in metal parts that we "cut" so that when it is time to do the "finish cut the stress in the part doesn't warp the part. I would be afraid that if I put my horn in the furnace to relieve the stress, I would end up with a bunch of parts when it came un-soldered. Dave
