What does "reconditioned" mean?
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.
