This will be the first attempt at posting to this blog, so it probably will not be too fancy.  Don’t worry.  I’m bound to get better.

This horn fell out of its case in a moving van on a trip from Manitoba to New Brunswick.  It belonged to the deceased brother of the guy wanting the repair.  He wanted the horn so He could maintain the memory of his brother.

It would be an insurance job so the money would not be a problem.  Of course this horn was not worth (in dollars) the price of the repair.  I was on the way to a repair convention and decide I would buy a magnetic dent removal system (MDRS) while there to facilitate this repair.

All that was required was that it look good and that I would play Georgia (his brother’s favourite tune) on it.  It all worked out pretty good and I acquired an excellent dent removal system in the process.

WOW, what a mess. Will keep trying.
