---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment <<I too was skeptical when I heard about cryogenics but after searching the WEB found a gfreat deal of information about it. Here is one page. http://www.americancryogenics.com/process.html . On one of the other sites (don't remember which one now) showed a crosssectin of metal before and after treatment. The treatment takes 48-72 hours and apparently does change the molecular structure of the metal. There were testimonials from drummers about their cymbals amd a saxophonist bragging about his better sounding horn. I am no scientist, just curious. Dennis Benson RPT www.DennisBenson.com Piano Technician Piano Disc Installation Web Design>> In the past several years a few entrepreneurial brass instrument repair persons have made a big push to have horns treated in this manner. I have heard the results of this principally on trumpets, since they are smaller (and therefore cheaper to treat) than the others, and to my ears (professional brass player) these players sounded just as good as they did before the instruments were treated. Net gain IMHO.....................nothing, though there was also no loss. That alone is reason for me to suspect somewhat the efficacy of treatment on brass instruments. Ron N. asked how this might apply to wood................SERIOUS doubts from this quarter, except to be concerned about its possible demise!
