The attached pictures will show my damaged 103K Mark VI, not much to look at but beloved. I dropped it. Took it to a repair tech who said, it’s bent, that’s a 500 dollar repair that will take weeks. I left it there, called a week later, he hadn’t begun the work and I said I’d pick it up because I couldn’t afford the repair at this time. He said let me get a more comprehensive estimate. Called back and hour or so later and said your horn is done, playing fine now. When I went to pick it up, he said you still need to get this straightened out. I said, why if it is playing fine. He said, because it is a Mark VI and has to be right. Another player told me it would have intonation and regulation problems unless straightened. I don’t know what to think, except that I can see the upper portion of the instrument is slightly bent. My question is, what are the repercussions of this, and what should it cost to have repaired, if necessary. (It’s playing fine now).
Unfortunately, try as I might, I can't seem to get these pictures right-side-up. They are correct on my desktop, but reverse here. Anyway, thanks for any information you might have to offer.
