It is quite a different matter copying artisan products,
mean producing multi replicas in high quality, or copying an
artisan product & have it work at the same precision.
To explain: copyists can reproduce a high class horn, which
looks exactly the same - if they have the necessary quality

It would seem that cryo doesn't affect the brass structure. Now, there's the
issue of residual stresses left by the assembly and soldering. This could
affect the horn's playing. Could cryo relieve that? Or, alternatively, is there
a high temperature at which to relieve stresses and that doesn't ann
Just think, Eldon, if only you'd had your trumpet frozen, back in the ninth
grade at Eastern High School (Middletown, KY). When Mr. Welch went down the
row, looking for the worst looking trumpet (to switch it's owner to horn) -
he might have passed you by - and who knows where you'd be now!

Yes, I've had this done...to that same Yamaha 862 I was discussing earlier
today. And, as I understand it, William is right...the idea behind the
freezing treatment is to relax the tensions in the metal so that the horn
plays "older" than its years. But I hasten to add that the metals are not

My horn is 12 years old and I considered it at one time, however "resonance
enhancing" as I've heard it called supposedly ages the instrument to make it
