[Dixielandjazz] Re: Repairing Tubas

[Henry B. Stinson]

There was something on NPR about this.
It's an excellent method that uses steel roller balls
and extremely powerful magnets.  It was demonstrated
on the air (???? yes, on radio, but on NPR), and according
to the announcer who watched was extremely fast and 100%
effective.  The inventor said he'd tested purposely denting
a tuba in the same place and repairing it multiple times.  Using
the old method with hammers, the metal cracked on the 12th
repair.  Using his method, he gave up after the 612th time on
the same spot.  Try searching the NPR website.
