I had my trombone in a gig bag back in 2007 when I got it stuck in the closing doors of a Brooklyn-bound C train. The bell was crushed, much like the one in this video. Heartbroken and desperate, I brought my horn to Josh, who fixed it on the spot.
That bell and I made our solo debut at Carnegie Hall this past March in front of a sold-out audience.
For anyone watching this video who doesn't know, the team at J Landress Brass doesn't just fix dents and grease slides. Their work is vital for the personal welfare of musicians and their contributions to the cultural fabric of New York City.
Thank you to everyone at J Landress Brass for what you do. Your work makes an enormous difference. 🙏
How much does a repair like this cost you?
@@bigbill1467 Like I said earlier, this happened to me a while back. I can't recall how much it cost me then, but if I had to guess what I would expect it to cost me today, I would estimate somewhere between $200 and $400. I suggest you ask the experts at J Landress Brass for an accurate estimate.
Because the bell in this video had no cracks or holes in the brass, Josh was basically re-bending the thing back into its intended shape. Having to patch up a crack would not only noticeably alter the instrument's sound, but it would also drive up the cost of the repair to cover the labor and materials needed.
Such amazing skills this guy has. I will never get tired of watching a craftsman doing what they do best.
That trombone received so much TLC!
Damn dude. You are a ninja with the metal working.
