Re: Tonehole undercuts

Hi Johan, I haven't played any Leblancs. But most horns can use a bit of help at some point in their lives as wood reacts to moisture and dryness. So a repairman's best friend are sometimes reamers and other tools such as undercutting tools. Also when horns crack and depending how they are fixed such as a crack right through a tone hole it's often pinned and then the need to undercut the hole for tuning.

I surely don't think any horn is perfect. Almost all of them are wood so wood changes.
