    Anyone know of a good trumpet repair person in Glasgow or Edinburgh that could do a rush job before Thursday nights concert in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall?

    There’s been an incident……

    Might be better to hire one?

    I’m not an expert on trumpets but I know a bit about acoustic guitars.. I imagine it’s a specialist job that would be difficult to do at short notice.

    What exactly happened to your *ahem* trumpet?

    What exactly happened to your *ahem* trumpet?

    It spontaneously broke……..this curiously happened on the same day that my 13 year old, trumpet playing daughter, threw a hissy fit .

    No connection between these two isolated incidents is to be inferred..

    My trombone is held together with superglue… holds well. for a proper solder job you’ll likely have to send it away to a specialist, its a bit more complex than plumbing (though not much more if you don’t care about the finish!)

    It’s not broken as such, the body of the valve nearest the bell seems to have deformed slightly and the valve can’t be depressed. It looks ok to the eye but the innards of the valve are fouling the sides. I swapped the valve over and it works fine in the other chambers so I know it’s not the valve itself which is bent.

    Anyone else open the thread expecting a tale of a broken banjo string?

    Was expecting it to be a euphemism, certainly….

    No. It did just what it said on the tin. Tromboning problems though…

    So what did you do regarding the withholding of pudding?

    (Having a 13 year old flute playing son with a concert on Thursday night, I feel your pain, btw)

    Wait, you mean that was a serious answer?

    I thought it was some sort of cottaging code.

    Nope. I assumed that was some sort of cottaging code.

    Didn’t want to risk it. 😉

    Borrow one? Our brass and woodwind instruments are owned by our BB’s – the lads borrow them from them. Shout if you get really stuck, but you may have to come to Dunblane to collect, even if they do have one spare (I think they do…)

    this curiously happened on the same day that my 13 year old, trumpet playing daughter, threw a hissy fit .

    One of ours ‘happened’ to ‘catch’ the violin bow ‘gently’ on the doorframe, however the cause was not the frustrated strop-et he was enduring at the time. Oh no. Not connected…

    Appreciate the offer Matt, but it’s already been fixed this morning by a nice bloke, wearing a Brian Johnson off of AC/DC style hat, in a truly impressive olde worlde workshop for the bargain sum of 20 quid.

    Just proves the old adage that anything is easy if you have the right skills and the right tools.
