How'd I do?

Post by TubadudeCA »

Below is a photo Of my 1896 Henry Distin Eb Tuba Before and After.. I've have spent the last few days staying late after work putting my own time and effort into this horn. It still has a lot of dents to get rid of, but this is it so far.
It was bathed, scrubbed clean, then all of the parts were dipped. This is about 6 hours of work. Needs more, but not bad right? :mrgreen:
