But I have to believe that there could be more demand for the service if it were more easily available. I am realistic (well, I try to be) about the economics of the situation: most people are not willing to pay the price or travel the distance to get the best that is available and the average repairman is not willing to work as hard as it takes for the relatively low pay involved. I do realize that the state of the art, worldwide, is quite low and I continue to be surprised by the ability of the public to accept low quality work. This should benefit you and I and, more so, the reader who sincerely wants to improve the state of art, in his/her own shop or those which they frequent. As always, I invite a discussion please let me know where you think I've gone wrong or am missing something that could be helpful to others. I don't expect this article to be as useful to the complete novice, other than as entertainment or inspiration to get started and the mechanic that is already producing excellent work may find it redundant. While I'm recovering from hand surgery, I am willing to jump in, head first, and do my best to explain what I know. The seeming impossibility of this task has prevented me from even trying before now and I will have to start with the qualification (disclaimer) that I don't believe that it is possible to be as complete or concise as I would want to be, but I present here some advice on performing the best quality work. I would need to cover all techniques of removing all possible dents from all brass instruments. From the time that I opened the Mechanics section of my website, I knew that I would eventually be covering the subject of removing dents from brass instruments.
