I realize that this may not be totally pertinent to the topic, but I'm wondering if they ever do what some engine repairists do: sleeve the block. Sometimes engines that have been run for a long time, such as diesel generators and tractor engines, have the same problem: the pistons and compression rings don't match the cylinders, so what they sometimes do is machine the cylinder to oversize, and then add a press-fit sleeve, which returns the cylinder to original specs and true-round. Would the same principle hold for trumpets, I wonder? Maybe I should email Anderson's about this (dunno if they'd be willing to tell me), especially seeing as I'm suffering the same problem with the Studio. Sorry, back to the original program...
