My grandchild dropped the trumpet, denting the horn:

He was crying up a storm (probably because he doesn't want me to tell his
mom).

Do you think the now-bent trumpet can be saved before mom finds out?

I have about a day or two before she expects it back...

What tools would straighten the horn out?


That can be fixed, but it very easy to make it worse, so I suggest a
professional.
Call a school that still has a band and ask who does theirs.

You won't get it back in time. Convince him to 'fess up.
Don't rat him out though, nobody likes a stool pigeon.
