The dent balls come in cases of 50 or 100, varying in size to fit the various diameters of the graduated instrument tubing. They‘re inserted in the inâ€" strument and skillfully and carefully forced against the dent, removing it graduâ€" ally.

Others are Kostor Kiritsa and Stephâ€" en Maubach, an apprentice. Mr. Brichto played string bass for the Kâ€"W Symphony Orchestra for 20 years. He was a saxophonist with the Waterloo Band. _ Mr. Frim plays tuba with the Transylvania band the Hoffâ€" brau band and Mr. Scherber, was clarinetist with the Waterloo Band and later with the Canadian Armed Forces band. Sometimes parts must be replaced, the bell on an upright tuba for example. The instrument rests on the big bell. Someone steps on it, bending it. It can readily be straightened by handâ€"a few times. But repeated bending cracks the brass, destroying the resonâ€" ance. The bell must be reâ€" placedâ€"at a cost of perâ€" haps $200. But it‘s worth it.

Then of course the bells of brass instruments are catchâ€" alls for any number of artiâ€" cles. _ A golfing cornetist puts a golf tee in the case with the instrument. It beâ€" comes lodged in the bell. The bell of a tuba is bigâ€" ger and catches more. Furâ€" ther, the tubing is much larger and the articles wind their way deeper into the instrument.

Well no, the inâ€" struments to be repaired come from as far east as the maritimes and as far west a the Pacific coast. The Wat‘ loo department is one of th largest in Canada. There are repair shops in Toronto, Montreal and other large Canadian cities. And there‘s work on new as well as old instruments. Clarinets, for example, come in shipments of 70, 100 or 200 from the United States or French manuâ€" facturing firms. They‘re all checked and tested by the Waterloo staff before they‘re sold. Pad and spring replaceâ€" ments on clarinets are rouâ€" tine. They‘re precision jobs.
