I just won this UNBELIEVABLE silver plated selmer series II off ebay for $1900 about a month ago. It was in perfect condition and played like a dream right out of the case. After every time I shed with it, I always put it back in the case for safe keeping. Today I took the horn out and practiced for a bit, then placed it on the soprano peg I have. I was plannin to come right back to it, and while I was sheddin alto i see the soprano tip in the corner of my eye. I tried to catch it but I was too late and it bangs into the ladder of my loft bed. Now there is a dent the size of a dime on the upper part of the horn, near the neck. Played it after the fall, and there seemed to be no practial damage (Thank God). Is it possible to get this fixed without ruining the silver plating? I know dent balls and magnets can be used for dents like this, but considering that the dent itself is near the narrowest part of the horn, it might not seem feasible. Am I screwed?
P.S. ONLY use the oleg bulldog stand for alto. Don't use your tenor or pegs of any kind on this stand, trust me. I hope someone's horn can aviod damage in the future from this dumb accident on my part.
