While teaching a high school clinic, one of the students stepped very firmly on the bell of my Euphonium when I had it sitting on the ground. It left a very prominent dent, firmly bending a section near the edge of the bell. I know of a fantastic instrument repair tech in the Chicago area who I will be taking my Euphonium to. Out of all of the euphoniums that I've owned, I have never had any kind of bell damage, like so I'm very unfamiliar with the potential outcomes, post-repair. For those of your who have dealt with bell damage on your instrument, what was the outcome after it was repaired? Did it leave a noticeable mark on the bell? Was it as good as new? Did the instrument play any differently? Thanks in advance for your input.
Also, I know that this isn't specifically about repair shops, but I'm just hoping for some input so I know what to expect after the instrument is repaired. Thanks!
