Reconditioning consists of:

removal of major dents
resoldering of loose braces
Ultrasonic chemically cleaning inside and out
stripping of old lacquer
buffing and re-lacquering
cleaning and polishing of valves and valve casing
realigning valves
replacing valve springs, corks and pads, as required
replacing waterkey corks
freeing and greasing all slides
play testing to ensure valve action is smooth and crisp, and that good tone and correct intonation is obtainable.

It is a practical approach to providing a student trumpet that looks good and plays correctly. It is not a restoration of the trumpet to a “like new’ condition. A like new restoration takes about 3 times the labor and time and according to the prices listed on the internet the cost is $450 or more. So by taking a more economical approach, we can offer Student Trumpets that look good (but not like new) and play correctly at prices less than the cost of a “like new” restoration that is not practical for student trumpets.
