Just the mess on my workbench. A trombone and two trumpets.
My project trombone is a Holton.
Oh, dents. Those came to be when the slide wasn't secured in the case, so it banged against the bell.
Waterkey. Look at how the spring is wrapped around the posts, there is no pin in there.
The slide for the project trombone, I guess we'll learn about those soon.
The bumper on my trombone, it's knocked in. I'm sure it will be a fun fix.
The crook on my trombone, riddled with dents and ridges.
My crook after sending some dentballs through. Looks way better now, but there is room for improvement.
My gooseneck, and it's not attached to the brace, the solder joint has broken and the brace is crooked.
How did this even break?
Oh, and the bell has a fold, but that's an easy fix.
Lathe project! This is a trombone inner slide plug. We use it to support the end of the tube so that the tube doesn't go out of round. It's also used to plut into the end, for sighting, or the trombone slide will look like an endless road to nowhere.
Yay, my plug again. It doesn't look like much but we had to make it really precise. The smaller end is 499 thousands, the bigger one 524 thousands. We could only be 1 thousand smaller, so this took a lot of measuring and being mindful on the lathe.
