That was basically what I said in an earlier posting. A touch-up by a
technician would be a good idea, but it is hard to believe that such
extensive work would be needed by the vast majority of instruments or
players. Our store will check a horn over if requested at no charge, but
it is seldom requested. Actually, it probably should be.
