Thanks!

I used to work as a musical instrument repairman.
(mainly brass inst.) Saw some pretty crazy things
(like end result of a car driving over a trumpet....
twice...) during that time, and heard some pretty
imaginative fibs from kids about how their horns got
"cranged".

Can only imagine what happens in other repair
businesses!
