    Do you have a lathe with a collet chuck? Chuck the tube and run a reamer through it. That will take that pipe out.

    Excelent job!! It's só nice tô watch a super pro artist working!! I got my trumpet when I was 10, after the graduation in the music school, it fell down and one " piston " got stucked like in the vídeo. I never ever played again, this happened at 48 years... Around 14 years ago I went tô buy a new one, tried a lot to play anything in the store, result I do not know how to play anymore... If you play, NEVER stop otherwise you lose like I did.

    I am a little surprised that the starting point was not using a small amount of heat to make reshaping that bell easier.
