Good day. Might anyone on the forum know whether the damage in the attached pic is repairable (without the necessity to remove anything)? The tubing exiting directly out of the 4th valve casing to the front of the instrument into the 4th valve slide shows a couple of dents. I have yet to know if this will affect playability, but I would like to start planning on how to correct the issue as it does appear to be in a location that is difficult to reach. Thank you.

A) I would think so, but B) the repair tech you plan to use should probably answer the question.
But we have a lot of folks here who are very smart about repairs, so I defer to their opinions if they chime in.Dave Werden (ASCAP)

I am not sure if he is in Austin, but I know he is in Texas. He did work on my bass trombone and is pretty good. His name is Eric Edwards - http://www.proinstrumentrepair.com/Home_Page.php
If nothing else he might know someone in Austin.
Good luck.Cerveny BBb Kaiser Tuba

Eric is great. Also look up the Rivard Bros in Arlington. I've been going to them for over 20 years, and They are always great
also Contact Terry Ghiselli: He's in San antionio. Never used him but several people I know swear by him
