This Mouthpiece Shank Repair Tool Set is comprised of a mandrel tool, and a set of nine repair sleeves to fit most brass instruments (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, horn, trombone (small, large & bass), baritone/euphonium (small, medium & large), and tuba (small or large). The mandrel tool is made of 303 Stainless Steel and is designed to fit all mouthpieces, and has been redesigned specifically to also fit the smaller horns and repair the occasional "fold over" from dropping. The Mouthpiece Shank Repair Sleeves are used to prevent mouthpiece shanks from becoming oblong or stretched during the repair. -cdp

How to Use: Simply insert the damaged mouthpiece shank end into the correct repair sleeve. These sleeves have been machined to fit the taper of the mouthpiece shanks while NOT allowing them to protrude completely through. This allows for a fast-professional repair without the shank end flaring, stretching, or becoming oblong. Insert the repair tool into the shank end and strike the repair tool just above the repair sleeve, opposite and towards the dent to be repaired. Repeat if necessary. Use only plastic, rubber, or rawhide hammer with this tool (not included). -the manufacturer
