Oh, man! That's terrible!

There's a chance that the piston will free up when the braces are taken off. If so... once the lower mouthpipe is straightened out and the braces put back on... the horn might be good to go. Hope you make TubaChristmas.

Have a great time at tuba Christmas! Sorry that there was so much stress involved but that horn looks awesome. I'm sure it will play beautifully when the dent is taken out.

Glad it finally got to you.

Well, it is good that you got it. The damage is sort of like salt on an already open wound...

How does it play?

Glad it got there, even more glad that you're able to play it in spite of Greyhound's best efforts...
