I took the whole trumpet apart and scratch brushed the entire bell as well as the leadpipe and tuning slides. I then reassembled and started making new braces. Here is what it looks like now

Tell me what you're doing to scratch brush the instrument? What tools are you using? I have also toyed with the idea of an alternative finish on my horn, but I am way to inexperienced (or cautious) to act before I know what I'm doing.

Share with us some of your tools of the trade. I'm sure we don't want you to give up any trade secrets, but I also believe there are some things creative people can do themselves.
