Yes...I strongly suspect it will...and thanks...
...but I'm only putting things back the way they were (as best I can) when first fabricated, and sticking stuff back together "backwards".
(I finally got the angle of the bottom bow - in my 2D pictures - to not appear "cockeyed", but fingerprints continue to make it appear to be poorly-repaired - though not).
When I first pulled it out of the box (horribly beat-up / 3-valves/ top-action), it sounded great, offered reliable intonation, slurred easily, and did not require any special care to play 5th/6th partial pitches (without faulty attacks).
The "secret" of my successful "projects" is that I start with stuff that (is obvious) is going to work.
Can I straighten out brass and stick it together nicely ?
yes.
Did I design this bugle and build it from scratch ?
nope.
Do I have a sneaking suspicion that much of the tooling for the final-days-of-Holton "Harvey Phillips" model was THIS stuff (pulled down from a dusty shelf) ?
yes.
Do I more enjoy building these "projects", or playing these projects ?
The entire time I'm building them, I'm bored, because (feeling as though I'm frozen in time, as they very slowly progress) I already know everything I'm going to do, and I'm ONLY thinking about being able to PLAY them.
