I would like to PM with someone who has taken the large bows off Hirsbrunner instruments.

Thanks.

What are you trying to do?

Please feel free to contact me.

Dan Oberloh just did this on my HB2-P... Took some rather large dents out, replated and put it all back together. Results are as one would expect from him It looks like new!!

pulled the bottom bow off my Yorkbrunner after it fell over in a rehearsal. He spent about three days working on the bow and some other dents that it developed during the "accident" and had it re-plated before the re-assembly process. He did a great job and you'd never know that it had been worked on. The horn looked like new and played better than ever.

One thing he did find when they applied the torches to the bow - it came loose and off in about a minute or less. The bottom bow had only been tacked on at the ferrule to the bell. There was only a one inch wide stripe of solder in one spot of the bow. Once it was re-attached and fully soldered into place the high C slotted better and I didn't have to push it up a bit for it to be in tune.

I still love it, what can I say.
