Hello to all
I have a quick question. I have a Getzen super Deluxe and it was purchased with dents on the top part of the bell. I was wondering would that affect the playability of the Horn.Thanks.

None! How do you like the Schiller?

Schiller seems to be ok.Valves are good and fast. Its not stuffy and plays very open.

Nice! I'm always interested in hearing good reports on the more affordable imports! So most of the time dents do nothing. Their generally not a problem unless they are greatly impeding air flow

No, it won't affect its playability.
However...
I'm not sure what you mean when you write "the top part of the bell", but if you mean the top part of the bell-rim it might be a difficult repair since your trumpet has a garland (wide rim around the end of the bell) that will hardly ever regain its original shape for 100%.
Any other moderate to serious dent-repair in the bell would most likely be an easy job for a professional repair-shop. |
