Bob,

I have been told recently that the chosen ones who properly put together
the bell bow bends on trumpets are doing so more accurately today by
original standards.  A great deal of importance revolves around how
vibrations are kept in place during the time of the soldering.  I'll get
back to you with more details once I have better information to relay.

Do you perform the so-called Bach conversions within your repair
practice?  What exactly do you specialize in?  Do you have the resources
to make a complete trumpet?
