If the dents cannot be removed by the "Trumpet Dent Ball Driver/Retriever", you may need to remove the bell and get as many of the dents as you can with a small tapered mandrel that will fit into the bell stem. Then use a trombone slide mandrel and a roller or burnisher to clean up the dents.
I really dig these videos, thanks for making them.
Art thank you for making these videos. They are both informative and educational in sharing an art form that is waning.
Wow, this guy is the Mc giver of the trumpet.
Have you a kanstul meha bell for sale please .Regards Jack ormrod
Hey Art,I was wondering what the best tools and techniques are for getting ripples out of a trumpet bell stem? Thanks!

Please make a video on French horn bell flare and bell pipe dent removal. Seem like all of them get hit here. Thank you.
That is a great idea. I will try to get a video of this the next time one comes into my shop.
Thank you Art. I’ll send you mine lol.
