Part 2 in the series of restoration of French Horn. This episode concludes the dent work up to the pinky hook, then install new hand guard. Thanks for watching.
I see this and admire this gentleman’s artistry and at the same time wonder what the hell did the player do to this horn. I take care of my sax better than I do myself
Stuff happens....even to us older players! My horn was severely damanged at the CNE a couple of years ago, it was utterly mortifying. It was after doing a military band gig...I had to put it down momentarily.....and in that quick moment, it had been dsmanged but I did not see or hear what happened...I picked it up and went to take it back to where our cases were ..it was when I went take it apart that I found the underside had been crushed! Being a brass player is a little different than woodwinds....brass had the issues with dents etc...whereas on sax, it's not dents...it's pads giving out, or keys becoming misaligned etc...It doesn't mean the instrument was not being looked after ....it was probably pretty awful to the person who's horn this is. I've been there and omg you die a little inside...Ron Partch saved my horn!
Kids who are using a horn handed down 15 times. French horns are fairly awkward and heavy. I know as a kid I dropped my horn multiple times and was mortified every time. Doesn’t take much for the horn to bend, and it truly doesn’t alter the sound too much. I’d like to add: sax players can’t talk because they have a strap around their neck to hold theirs ;)
Actually that is also middle and high school. That looks like my old French horns. I had some that looked exactly like that. My middle school and high school was too poor to fix the horns. But the percussion and tubas always had great instruments.
Coming from auto body background here, at first I was like "He's gonna have to finesse those dents out I guess..." .....NOPE! Just brute force the living hell out of them, that's it!!! Love it!!
I’m not a musician but I have been working with metal for 30 years now. Seeing damaged musical instruments is very sad. I appreciate the care and time it takes to bring them back again.
When I was in the band at university we had a storeroom full of French horns in this condition or worse. Even a couple double horns. Director always said it would cost too much to fix them.
@@brushbros untrue, as an aspiring organist I find it hard to practice at home (for obvious reasons), so I practice in person with my wonderful teacher :)
@@brushbros Yeah, schools have realized online classes suck so they're pushing for more in person learning, it's a breath of fresh air for someone like me!
This is the definition of a "Master Tradesman"! Skills honed over numerous years with the guidance of an equally or even greater skilled teacher! Bravo!
Holy cow! Your line of work is so much more physical that a luthiers. I'm sure you could kill it at a arm wrestling contest! You are a master of your craft sir.
Never tried to bend a piece of Peruvian cherry, have you? That is one of the worst bending woods around, and it can get pretty physical. But yeah, you're right, he does work up a sweat working on those poor horns. It's amazing to see what he can do with sheet metal.
My god - I can’t believe it. I’ve watched both French horn restoration videos. Very nicely done! I played the French horn from 6th grade through high school. I’m 71 now. I look back at those years with that one horn quite fondly. My 6th grade granddaughter has begun . Thank you sir.🤜🤛👊👍👍
The nerdy French horn section in my high school also were in the nerdy Latin and Latin II class. We called ourselves "The French Hornae." hahaha We sounded like a herd of elephanti when we were at our very best. Especially when we marched. Wonderful video.
I was going to write, "Whomever did this damage should be similarly reamed," then I thought that comment might be in bad taste, so I decided not to comment.
It was likely just a terrible accident. My horn was crushed at the CNE a couple of years ago after a military band gig. I had to put it down for a moment and in that time it got crushed!
Oops hit reply too soon. Anyways, we still don't know how it happened to my horn.....but my horn was saved! I died a little inside when I saw my horn was dsmaged so badly.....I do look after my instruments, but crap happens sadly!
I thought the bell looked impossible, but this was hard to believe that you were able to get in there and work out those dents. Obviously it took a lot of time and energy and know how with the right equipment. I am sure it is not an inexpensive fix either but it cam out very well.
Yes. Besides destroying the finish, it would not have gained me anything. Did not anneal because I didn’t use forces enough for making the bell brittle. Have to be delicate with how much force you use. However, In another circumstance, if I were overhauling with a refinish, after I get most all of the scarring out, I would anneal or “normalize” the brass. Can’t do a full anneal because of the soft soldered in wire rim.
@@wesleemusicrepair9820 In watching this video....what would be the difference between the large patch you put on the horn (because you couldn't reach the dents as they were too far in, and instead cut off the bell so that you could get deeper, push out the dents then reattach the bell with a sleeve? I would think (and mind you I know NOTHING of your profession) that a sleeve would maintain a more harmonious and pleasing sound than a patch would that creates asymmetry in the tube
I've been playing tuba/sousaphone since 1965 and I've never seen a brass instrument with this much damage (watched the first video before this one). Can you tell us how this horn got so beat up?
I truly appreciate and understand why you do this for a living. You take instruments that most people would throw in trashed and bring them back to life
👍....Bravo!, gut gemacht!.. Ich bin deutscher Büchsenmacher und habe auch schon einige Jagdhörner ausgebeult. Dabei hilft keine Elektronik, nur echtes Handwerk!!...
Your talent and workmanship are top notch. Some of these instruments look like they were run over by a space shuttle. But you make them look brand new again. Keep up the good work.
Complete mastery of the medium! This was harder than creating the instrument in the first place. Getting deep past the bell and fixing the dents is a show of finesse with strength!
I can't tell you how many public school instruments look just like this. So sad. Kids who don't own the instrument don't take care of them very well. I assume that's what this was. I suppose it's possible it was a yard sale find that the new owner actually cared about too. Nice job restoring it.
I love your work - thanks for taking the time and effort to make videos! I chuckle every time you use a snare stand to hold your work - that's a fantastic idea!
I can tell you have doing this for a long time, but may I suggest using a line laser above your work to shoot a line at the ball you are working with? I don't know if you ever have problems with but it would help you find the center of the ball when you are trying to smooth out the dented spots. Just a suggestion. Nice work, by the way!!!
good morning Congratulations on your great work I am an admirer of your work. I'm subscribed to your channel. Do you have any stores that you can recommend for luthier tools? Thank you I wish you all the best.
Some members of our school band had loaners too but for some reason nobody ever mistreated their instruments like that. Unbelievable. Excellent restoration!
Damage like that is reasonably common on french horns, it is a heavy and quite awkward instrument and they do get dropped. Metal on the bottom is quite thin and soft so damage like this can easily occur.
Next time my french horns valve desides to try to stick on me (its normal but its just a quick easy fix I just have to press it twice and it doesn't happen often) Imma show it this
Amazing work! Crumpled metal gradually transformed into something as supple and smooth as human skin. Incredible. One question: why tackle the bell before working on the throat of the horn? Although I must add, while working on the throat, you didn’t seem to do the bell any damage. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Damn I'd flip out if anyone did this to my Trumpet I've had since I was a freshmen in HS. I still can play it. Am in a group that we get together twice a month & rehearse & play a few gigs during festivals .. Complete Band including all maner of instruments. Sadly I canbonly play two. The Trumpet & Bass. These guys arent Nearlt paid enough. During a move back when I was in my 2nd year of college , one of my dumb ass roomates stepped on a piece of leggos my other roomate was making a millennium falcon tripped landed on my trupmet that was funnel side flat on the ground. It fell & it got severely dented there & doen the small tubes. I paid a guy $250.00 to fix it. he not only fixed it he replaced the inner workings of one of the valves polished it up cleaned up & repaired the case it was in.! I was so happy I gave him anbxtra $20.00 he's since retired & his grandson has taken over his shop. Theres not another like it for 500mi in any direction ! Yep I live in the boonies 😆
🥺How did you do that. I watched the video. 🥺🤔. I understand collision repair. But a Horn that is soft metal brass bent back into it's original form without taking it apart😱🤯😅😆 thank you
This was a great orchestral battle, judging by the state of the armor. Deeper-Deeper Harder-Harder. You can rarely find videos on TH-cam in which a dude intensively pushes his long stick deep, uses various tools and gallons of lube to stretch the pipe. I hope that she, who is the owner of the pipe, was satisfied with the result of his efforts
I don’t get what that fire thing was or how it got the dents out. Did he cut a piece of metal off and replace it back on without showing on video or what?
If it is all School abuse - seeing the brace of sousaphones you miraculously repaired - can't someone design rubber bumper pads to fit to vulnerable areas ? It would lessen your workload but it must be soul-destroying seeing these instruments returning for re-repair
When i see some of these school band instruments, i think some of those kids should consider another hobby. And quite a lot of hours of public duties. Maybe some jail time with hard labour.
Wow, does any of the metal work change the musical characteristics of the instrument? What are the tools called that are forced by hand along the surface to smooth the finish?
Pure magic... Loved metal working: nothing along the lines what you do, as an HDR/W operating engineers, A mixing company one of the cement trucks, the upper hopper was tweaked / bent way out of shape, I told the shop foreman, or said something to him, why don't you straighten that out, there's nothing wrong with it; he laughed at me, I said I can fix it, bear in mind, it's partly doubled plated steal, stiff, heavy duty., Much to my liking, took me a couple of days, they didn't think it could be fixed, teamsters. showed them. You need to know how to talk to it. I'm retired now. Love it, your finished work is awesome.......
Watched both videos. Very impressive! Thank You for entertaining me. I acquired a French Horn when I was a kid. Hand me down. I played Bugle in school. I don't recall what happened to either one. I dropped it for guitar when I was 15, before the relationship with the French Horn got physical. I actually didn't like played Bugle because of all the parading around I did as a Cub and Boy Scout. The school band was good, it encourage my interest in music.
I see this and admire this gentleman’s artistry and at the same time wonder what the hell did the player do to this horn. I take care of my sax better than I do myself
OK, I'm hooked, I am a musician and a craftsman, I really enjoy watching the metal finishing work, I know how to do it with steel, but have never done it with brass.
If you're treating something gingerly for all the time you have it, you will never understand how truly fragile it might be. I have learned that shocking lesson just a few too many times; seeing someone else's folly makes me glad it wasn't mine. Great work fixing this wonderful instrument.
I've watched a few of your repair videos and read some comments to think I may be the first to type 'Your upper body strength must be very high!' to 'push' that brass around like you do! 😍

@@thomasnewton8223 i play sax and clarinet, the neck strap can come off very easily sometimes
I think he ruined it on purpose, to show his restoration skills.
Yeah, this damage looks deliberate... there are no accidents that cause this kind of damage.
As long as there are 4th graders learning how to play, this guy will always have a job. You do amazing work.

That's hands down the cutest oxy/acetylene torch I've ever seen.
I don't even play french horn, but this is just beautiful to watch!
the owner of that horn didnt either apparently

Is there a reason why you don’t heat treat/anneal the metal before reshaping it? You do beautiful work!
Yes. Besides destroying the finish, it would not have gained me anything. Did not anneal because I didn’t use forces enough for making the bell brittle.

A Holton resurrected from the dead.
Great horn. Thanks for watching
Am I the only one watching the bell slam into the vice repeatedly?
I truly appreciate and understand why you do this for a living. You take instruments that most people would throw in trashed and bring them back to life
Dude no one's throwing away brass instruments...
how much physical exercise we do every day brother !!
If this gig doesn’t work out for you, you may still have a career in chiropractic… ;~)
Great job!
Would the horn need re-tuning after this restoration? Might it have changed shape a little?
Brass instruments almost all have adjustable tuning slides. You actually tune them every rehearsal, just like you would a string instrument.
@@danliebster9894 Thank you, I didn't know that.

I’m a big fan of this guy he is so amazing at what he does the question that I have is I wonder how many instruments he fix in a day
What a difference and what a phenomenal job you did! Thank you for allowing us to see how it's done.
Watching this series the question that begs answering: does the owner of this instrument have a pet T-Rex?
I can't tell you how many public school instruments look just like this. So sad. Kids who don't own the instrument don't take care of them very well. I assume that's what this was. I suppose it's possible it was a yard sale find that the new owner actually cared about too. Nice job restoring it.

Wes your ability to make strawberry jam out of pig shit is awe inspiring.
This is what happens when you get kicked out of the band. LOL
That guy must have many spirits looking over his shoulder learning things and being amazed.
This is a very gentle man that you do not want to get into a fight with.
how long did this total repair take?
good morning Congratulations on your great work I am an admirer of your work. I'm subscribed to your channel. Do you have any stores that you can recommend for luthier tools? Thank you I wish you all the best.
2:00 when yo girl invites you to study at her place
I would be very interested in the story of what happened to this instrument.
From flat to functional!
It would be a nice addition to your videos to get the player’s reaction to the fix and to hear it played by them.
I am astounded that such damage can be repaired at all.
I had always wondered how dents were fixed on musical instruments!
How many hours did it take you?? What was the final cost $$$?
Would it have been worth it to do the bell last, so you wouldn't have had to worry about hitting it when you did the other work?
Kind of reminds me of my wedding night.
How do instruments get crushed like this?
Wow!! This is like visiting Gepetto's workshop. I didn't think people even had these skills any more. What a master!!
Still the result is amazing!
Some members of our school band had loaners too but for some reason nobody ever mistreated their instruments like that. Unbelievable. Excellent restoration!

If we did that then every school would have kids wanting to learn the French horn with nothing to play.
I wonder what percentage of his business comes from the education industry, lol

Jesus Christ did someone get murdered with that thing?
So how long did this take to do?? Did you completely buffit out??
Te odgłosy wydawane przez Ciebie podczas tej naprawy, westchnienie, stękanie itp pokazują, jak ciężka fizycznie jest to praca. Wieki szacun.
I didn't think it could be possible to repair such damage. Is there a reason why you don't work from the inside out?
Wow, does any of the metal work change the musical characteristics of the instrument? What are the tools called that are forced by hand along the surface to smooth the finish?
A tad off topic, but what kind of torch is that? It's so clean burning and precise!!!??
OMG! So amazing!

You rubbed that wrinkled up thing until it was a stiff and smooth horn to be proud of. The noises you make doing it creep me out
Why did it need soldering? I failed to find a crack during inintal insection part. Did it snap when was work being done?
Did someone fall during marching practice?! Great video!
Holy smokes. Was this French Horn actually in war or what? What did they do to this poor thing.
I see this and admire this gentleman’s artistry and at the same time wonder what the hell did the player do to this horn. I take care of my sax better than I do myself
That is so impressive. You obviously don’t need to go the the gym for a work out lol
I know what happened......"and the guy said he'd never try to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" again".....lol
OK, I'm hooked, I am a musician and a craftsman, I really enjoy watching the metal finishing work, I know how to do it with steel, but have never done it with brass.
This seems like a lot of work, how much could a Holton french horn cos oh my god that’s a lot of money
Yeah, legit watched both parts thinking "Well how the hell are you gonna fix that??"
And now I know.
Would love to have this guy as a husband.
I think Charles Emerson Winchester III was learning to play it.
If you're treating something gingerly for all the time you have it, you will never understand how truly fragile it might be. I have learned that shocking lesson just a few too many times; seeing someone else's folly makes me glad it wasn't mine.
Great work fixing this wonderful instrument.
I can't help but think that you could reach a little further into the tube if the bell were still smashed in :)
Watching the bell that he spent so much time on crash into the vise makes me think the bell should have been the last to be worked. lol
Was this dropped out of pickup doing 85 down the highway😀
I've watched a few of your repair videos and read some comments to think I may be the first to type 'Your upper body strength must be very high!' to 'push' that brass around like you do! 😍
I wonder what that lubricant he is using is? It looks like bees wax.
.
I didn't even know David Cross repaired French horns.
jaysus i hope that french horn was at least 18
I hope this was not the result of a domestic violence situation. A true artisan at work.
Learning to play can be frustrating, but why take it out on the instrument.
Where is the: Using your French Horn as a Mallet, video?
