After the parts had been prepped, they were all soaked in a detergent solution to remove any grease and organic material that may be trapped inside. This meant disassembling the trumpet and pre-cleaning all possible parts with a degreaser and blue cloth. I began prepping the trumpet for a chemical clean. After re-soldering the upper ferrule back to the tube, I was able to continue with penetrating oil, heating and cooling with slightly more leverage. Eventually, I heated the solder joint from the upper ferrule to the crook and removed the slide that was not stuck.
REPAIR RED ROT BRASS INSTRUMENTS CRACK
In order to remove the slide, I attempted to heat and cool the main upper-outer slide tube to crack the corrosion. After a short while, the third slide released fairly easily, but the main tuning slide was thoroughly stuck.
Bell - seven dents in bow, five dents in stem, and a buckle.Īfter the inspection was complete, I introduced penetrating oil into the stuck main tuning slide and third slide assemblies. Knuckle Dents - tail to 3rd casing, lower 3rd slide, lower 2nd slide, 2nd to 3rd casing, 1st to 2nd casing, upper and lower 1st slide, and casing to bell knuckles. Second Slide - crushed, crook and draw-knob must be replaced. 
Second Valve - mouthpipe to casing brace torn, missing bottom cap, damage to bottom cap threads. Third Slide - stuck, missing finger ring,. Third Valve - stuck, missing bottom cap, damage to bottom cap threads. 
Mouthpipe - four dents, bent finger ring and Red Rot. To begin, these are the issues found after the initial inspection of this trumpet: It will take a slightly closer look at the steps involved in fixing its various issues. This page, an offshoot of the initial blog, will look much more specifically at the issues faced with the Renyolds Project trumpet.
