Adjustment

This step is all about cleanup adjustments for anything that has moved during it’s regular playing life. This includes bending keys and basic work involved in a standard adjustment to see that everything is aligned properly. I adjust keys multiple times to accommodate for memory that brass has. Despite only taking a matter of minutes per key, it is a fairly long process in that I have to continually set the horn down to let the metal settle for a while before bending it again ad nauseam.
