Just bought an old beat up horn for 60 bucks with the plan of practicing my repair skills. I don't want to destroy a quality horn with my lack of skills. It's a Buescher, made in Elkhart, IND it also has USQMC engraved on the bell. Ser no 43835. Should I seek professional help, or is this horn not worth it? It is playable, and all the valves work (after a little work) but has some serious dents and the bell is wrinkled. By the way, what a great resource this forum is. I wish I had something like this when I played seriously. Your enthusiasm here makes me want to get back into it.
