Question:

Really scared...crinkle in trombone...plz help?


so today somebody "accidentally" hit the bell of my trombone with a music stand and now there is a large crinkle in the bell, about 4-5 inches long and about 1 inch thick. this isnt the first time it has happened. it is the third large crinkle to the trombone. all the others have been fixed, and now there is major scarring on the bell. they told me last time i should be extremely careful because if it dented again, the repair might cause the metal to crack.i am wondering if there is anything i can do or ask them to do to it so that it WILL NOT crack AT ALL.


Answers: I do not think you ask them not to,but to try their best.Every time you "dent it" they have to peen hammer it back in to shape and this thins and stretches the brass,making it thinner in places,thus cracking it. I play the Trumpet, and this has happened to me, but not cracked. I do not think there is anything to stop it from cracking, except to ask peoples to stay away from the stands when walking by. I used to play the Baritone Bass clef, and since it was the schools, it did not effect me. If you should have any questions, ask you Director.
