Just got my c. 1865 M SLATER NY MAKER Upright Brass with nickel silver trim three string Rotary valve Bb Tenor horn back from restoration. Plays GREAT!
Before & After....as found and after restoration....
Parts were stuck, dents removed,tube cracks and holes were sealed/patched, a main tuning slide had to be replicated—along with a 2nd ferrel and three key/saddle assemblies, recork, alignment of rotors and restringing, cleaned up and assembled & sent back.....
