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?

Hi,
I am a life time brass player, still do in a local community band with
vintage euphonium. Is it expensive name brand horn? Or just student model
Yamaha kind? Regardless take it to a shop they will do a good job so he
can be ready for school next month. It looks easy to fix it but believe
me, you can mess it up w/o experience and proper tools.
I am sure local shops are already busy getting ready for rental program
with their inventory.
