This repair is know as the "body slam".

A metal plug is set in the neck receiver. The plug is connected to a steel plate. The plate is slammed (tapped really) onto a firm surface; maybe a technicians bench. The body often pops right back into shape. On older and softer horns the bends are often more complex and more difficult to remove.

Hey Curt do you think that's what my old arthritic body needs?
How much do you charge for humans?

Hans I forgot to mention that some bodies are to bent and twisted from years of abuse, gigs, and alcohol to be recovered...
