    Man - that Bach 36 had a tough life. You , Mr. Lee are nothing short of amazing!

      Yes, and it sure makes you wonder how all that damage happened.

    This is so satisfying to watch the transformation.

    A silver-plated 36 like that is a thing of beauty. Although this video is only a few minutes long, I bet that bell work took three or four hours. At that speed, you can't be in it for the money--it has to be for the love of music, of beautiful things, for the player who will receive this instrument.

    I play a Bach 36B like the one in this video, and it's also silver. I've owned it for nearly 50 years and it plays like a honey. I still perform and record with it.

      I have a similar horn--a King 3B, silver bell, f-attachment. I call it my "new" trombone even though I got it new around 1970 or 1971. I had a friend or two who used to try to get my goat by saying I played a trombone with a "chrome bell". (grrrrrrr). I love watching this guy work on these horns. When I saw that crease around the edge of the bell, it sent shivers up my spine and I wondered how he was going to fix it. I also wondered how much it must cost to buy all that equipment and how long it would take to learn to restore these horns. I still have a guitar I haven't completed building and a couple 12 strings I need to do a proper set-up on. But I've been a computer geek for over 40 years and as such, while I may love music, I put it on the back burner for fear of what traveling as a professional trombone player would do to my family life. Not sure I made the right decision as I ended up divorced anyway in my 40s and remarried in my early 50s. Now it seems to be about enjoying retirement and making the best use of my old years. 🙂One way to enjoy it is by watching videos like these and learning.
      Chances are, when I get done with my AI certification, I'll focus again on music and photography and get these guitars done while getting back in shape on the trombone. My son will be starting trumpet soon. It's tempting to encourage him to take up trombone and get a matching King 3B silver-bell, f-attachment. Lessons would cost exactly zero dollars :-)

    Is this Sterling Silver or Silver Plate?

  • @tlbmusic
    @tlbmusic Před 2 lety +2

    Wes, I really enjoy watching your videos. After you use the tarnish remover do you put anything on the instrument to prevent future tarnishing?

    • @wesleemusicrepair9820
      @wesleemusicrepair9820  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks. On silver, I usually final wipe down with Hagery’s or Wright’s silver polish/sealant.
