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 contro

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
