Pretty great!

Years ago there was a picture of one of Tommy Johnson's axes, just run over accidentally by a fellow studio musician. Anyone still have that picture?

If the horn was flat, why not just shorten the main tuning slide? :tuba: :mrgreen:

Great work! :D

I have a french horn that was run over by a school bus (not mine, a contribution).

I was going to try to save the valves, but after looking at the bell, I decided it was perfect just as it is.

It now sits proudly by my fireplace. Even my wife likes it. :shock:

Oh yeah, good lookin' work Harv!!

Harv is great at pumping up the sousaphones! Harv can do everything including clutch replacement and fixing a mean smoked chicken .

Good work!
