Mary Ann,

I had a student do the very same thing with my Hirsbrunner Euph. He was absolutely sick when the tuning slide fell out and the horn bounced on the floor. I purchased the horn new in 1983 and have given it TLC for 17 years. Until he dropped it, 3 years ago, it was completely dent free (and scratch free!). I had the dents removed leaving only traces of scaring and dent removal. The still looks and plays beautifully. In fact, I think I could sell the horn for more than I paid originally, $2500 (not that I would). I think the new ones are well over $5500 now!

Moral of the story, Don't Worry... Be Happy!

Todd
