Bell Repair

bigaggietrumpet · 09-22-2004, 12:43 AM

How much would it cost to have a relatively large ripple removed from a bell?

It really depends on the ripple, but I have watched a friend of mine do just that before and it only takes about 10 minutes to remove the crease, and then a little more time to buff - a pretty easy repair really.

I figure you are into it for about $30 - $40 depending on where you go - maybe more, but it never really costs me to have that kind work done since my friend is a repair tech.

agreed - I had my B3b repaired several times for the same crease (dent memory) - It cost between $35-$45 each time I had it repaired

Tell me that repair is not for the new 1500!

what new 1500? Oh, that probably won't be purchased for a long, long time...

Whew. So how did it happen? Does it have anything to do with the start of marching season...anything at all?

Trumpet. Brother. Klutz. Stands.

I believe that should be enough. Luckily, his is another Omega.
