| Re: "Red Rot"...what is it & can it be rectified?
Dude: Trouble with R/R is it's like cancer. Don't know where it will show up next. You're probably better off looking for a new horn. There's a tech in West Va. that I use exclusively. An old guy, (older than me even). Bach shop @ hotmail, or ya can find him on E-bay- Bach shop trumpets. This guy is incrediblely good,super honest. Save yourself some grief. Been workin with brass for 40 years,when the zinc goes,it's over. If ya bought the horn used & it wasn't cleaned properly, ya may have another bad spot hiding just out of site,and bingo. More good money after bad. Good luck. Franco
