What does "reconditioned" mean?

Posted under: Uncategorized

Reconditionng 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.

Reconditioning consists of:

  • removal of major dents
  • resoldering of loose braces
  • Ultrasonic chemically cleaning inside and out
  • stripping of old lacquer
  • buffing and relacquering
  • 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.
