The history of ferrees tools, inc.
Cliff Ferree, founder and president of Ferrees Tools, Inc., has an excellent background in the repair field. He played in several Army Air Force bands during WWII. After graduation from the Conn repair school in 1946, he established his own repair shop. This grew into a large retail business (which was later sold due to expansion of the tool business). In 1956 Cliff bought out the repair tool departments of both Conn and Leblanc. Using these tools as a nucleus, and after extensive redesign, the first complete catalog was published in 1957. In September 1992, Ferrees acquired the Erick Brand Corporation, which had been selling band instrument repair tools and supplies since 1935. From 1962 thru 1967, Cliff conducted a series of 2 week repair courses. These courses were very successful. The tool business moved to larger quarters in 1965. In 1967 two large additions were completed. In 1970 he designed several unique sax pad assembly machines.
After making special sets of precision dies, he began manufacturing saxophone pads. These pads eventually supplied several major manufacturers in addition to repair shops. Due to a large increase in business that these superior pads brought, in 1976 a second building was erected. 1979 was the year Cliff gave his first foreign repair clinic in W. Germany sponsored by our European distributor. In 1980 he gave a similar clinic in Norway. Thereafter, these brass and woodwind clinics were presented in Germany for several years by Cliffs eldest son, Gary. Gary now serves as our Repair Consultant at: Repairtips@aol.com. Garys son Curtis is assistant shop foreman and in charge of Research and Development. Cliff attributes the growth of the company to the fact that he has been active in the repair field and realizes the needs of other Repairmen. He is still constantly on the lookout for methods to improve tools and supplies used by musical instrument and band Repairmen throughout the world. This search has resulted in the development of many new tools. Using these tools can help complete difficult and complicated jobs more simply, in much less time and more accurately. There have been large investments to update company machinery in an effort to keep production costs as low as possible. Barbara Ferree, who has worked in the office since the beginning, is Secretary-Treasurer. In addition to accounting, she produced the companys first catalogs, advertising and lay-outs. The name Ferrees has always stood for efficient manufacturing and pride in our products. The quality and service represented by our logo are always the best we can give.

The Z60 dent machine pictured above, which has been in production for over 44 years, now includes a big improvement. While we were working on more ways to use our great power discs Z60-24 thru 27 and the Z60-28 thru 30 rollers, Curtis Ferree designed and built a fitting which allows the quill assembly to be moved up or down more quickly. Current models are being shipped with this quick release included. This makes the Z60 more ambidextrous in operation and takes less space. If you have an older model, you can ship in the old Z60 frame for the Z60-1U update. The Z60 is a very forgiving unit and will allow you to be a little off without causing a major problem. The keys to its longevity are that it was NOT designed to become obsolete and is VERY USER FRIENDLY. The Z60 and its accessories make you more efficient and profitable. Many special use tools have been made for this great machine. It used to pay for itself in a year, just through time saving. Now it only takes about 6 months for it to pay for itself(if you have work to do) thru amortizing your cost faster.
The purchase price is actually lower now in REAL dollars AND using all the new speedy tooling that has been developed in the last few years will contribute to a better finish job. The more of the new toys you get, the quicker they will all pay for themselves. The individual Z60 parts, both included (shown above) and optional, are listed on the following 7 pages. Z60 Dent Machine *NEW* QUICK RELEASE IS NOW STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Quick release update. Send in your old Z60 frame and we update it. It will also be realigned as part of the update. Realignment is included in the update cost.

*NEW* Z6 POLYLUBE SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT
This lubricant is mandatory when using aluminum balls! It makes all of the power discs work better too. Its important to use the NEW Z6 synthetic lubricant in all friction producing actions. This stuff, when mixed with YOUR petroleum jelly is GREAT! It makes all your movements much easier; burnishing, rubbing or contouring. It also tends not to allow as much or any scratching of the raw brass or a lacquered surface, and is very good with silver plated surfaces too. Supplied in a 4 oz. can.

Same size as the Z60-25, but low profile for marching units. Note: These low profile units are NOT meant to replace the regular power discs on a daily basis.

Z60-30 Convex Roller

I have been thoroughly satisfied with everything I have bought from Ferrees so far. Thank you!...Tom.
Imagine, if you will, the machine thrown over your shoulder like a set of bagpipes, so that you can better attend to the matters at hand. No more interference of the bell running up against the quill or the arm setting nut. More freedom than you could have ever thought. This ALL NEW combination allows you to go so deep into a bell that you actually can pass the flair and get into the tapered stack to remove kinks and slash dents ( youll be tempted to go farther). The new Z60-32 deep finishing, 30 Degree Arm moves the support arm and business end of the machine back over your shoulder so that is completely OUT OF THE WAY. The new Z60-33, 7 Inch Roller was developed for tubas and provides that extra measure of security that you need when you have an uneven distribution of weight most large brass instruments have. The bigger the horn the bigger the influence of this phenomena. After much testing of the 30 degree arm it was determined it could benefit from a deeper reaching roller that also could extend back to the arm for support. The new Z60-33 will be riding NEXT TO the deep finishing arm and still reach an extra inch into the bell, to pass the point of tangency, so you dont accidentally crease the bell from inside out, if you relax too much. This arm also works well with the Z60-28 on French Horns, baritones and euphoniums.

*NEW* Z60-37
TROMBONE SLIDE DENT ROLLER
These tools work on the same principle as the N87A trombone pliers but were made for repairmen without a lot of hand strength. A little slower to operate than the pliers, they still do the same fine job.

Already nicknamed the finger tool by our customers, the Z60-50 is a sax (and flute) tone hole and bore tool. New in 2007 was this great Old Skool method for removing dents and distortion from between AND around tone holes. Originally developed for saxophone, the tools can also be used with the Z60-39 flute body mandrel. Helps avoid having to file down tone holes to get them level, preserving the horn, by restoring the original diameter of the sax or flute body to bring up the low sides.

*NEW* Z60S BENCH MOUNT STAND *NEW* Z61S FLOOR MOUNT STAND
Get your Z60 out from under your bench, off the shelf or out of the closet and put it where it can save you time and make you money. In our travels we have discovered that many of the 800 or so Z60 Dent Machine tops that were purchased with NO Z61 bottom section are STORED under benches or up on shelves, until needed. And then, when the need does arise, sometimes its just too much trouble or it takes too long, to get it out or down, install it in the usually mal-fitting or otherwise occupied bench vise, set it up and do the job. This NEW Z61S Floor Mount Stand cures all of that! This stand is made of heavy duty construction and its offset so that you can use the safety recommended Z61-6 counterweight to eliminate any unintended flop. This makes it easier to utilize the new 30 degree deep finishing arm and 5 or 7 roller combo on the Baritone, Euphonium, French horn and/or Sousa and Tuba bells you are doing. SPECIAL NOTE: If you buy this Z61S stand and decide you should have bought a Z61 or Z61E base within one year, we will give you FULL CREDIT for what you paid for the Z61S, when you return it, undamaged, towards the Z61 or Z61E.
Now, you can use your Z60 right off your existing heavy bench. This stand is made of heavy duty construction and its offset so that you can use the safety recommended Z61-6 counterweight, to eliminate any unintended flop since the stand allows for full rotation of the Z60. This makes it easier to utilize the new 30 degree deep finishing arm and 5 or 7 roller combo on the Baritone, Euphonium, French horn and/or Sousa and Tuba bells you are doing. Additionally, this makes it less expensive for those who are building a single instrument specific machine; like we have set up for so many of these smaller shops over the last few years; trumpet only, trombone only, French horn only, saxophone only and tuba only whatever YOU want. This way, YOU CAN ADD ON any other tools later, as your experience and opportunity allow, and not limit your potential. NO DEAD ENDS, here! NO limited use tools. FULL USE!!

But all in all-this was the best investment Ive made since opening my business. And I really appreciate the help in getting financial terms to pay for it. You guys Rock!...Brett.

The Z61 base for the Z60 dent machine consists of:
(7) Dent machine Base (1) 1 x 40 curved rod (2) 1-1/4 x 40 curved rod (3) 1-1/4 x 36 curved rod (3C) 2-3/8 ball (5B) 1-1/16 ball (4) Brake and 2 locks (5) Mandrel clamp (6) Counterweight (8) Setting nut The Z60 dent machine is the top portion of a complete dent machine. There are two bottoms; one for sousaphone work (Z61) and the other for tuba work (Z61E). These bases are to do specific low brass work depending on what is generally used in your geographic area or what you prefer working on. If, you DO NOT INTEND to do low brass work, other than the bell and straight portions of the branches, we would recommend you using the new Z61S Floor mount stand or the newest Z60S Bench mount stand. These new stands hold the main Z60 frame that does most of the work, firmly and at the proper height, for ease of operation.
The Z61E European base for the Z60 dent machine consists of: (7) Dent Machine Base (6) Counterweight (11) Adjustable Arm (8) Setting nut (15A) 3 extension (15B) 6 extension (15C) 9 extension (3C) 2-3/8 ball (5B) 1-1/16 ball (4) Brake and 2 locks (5) Mandrel clamp
If you call, Ferrees will make either of these stands to fit the operator. This way the Z60 will be at the perfect height for you to be at your best. As a rule of thumb, when you are standing up, your elbow should line up with the main working rod. The Z61 is outfitted with 3 steel rods that are intended to do sousaphone branches. The Z61E is outfitted with the new Z61-11 adjustable rod to do tuba bottom bows. It is necessary, to do a good job, to acquire the optional Z61-13S aluminum ball set. If you are going to do both sousa and tuba work, the most economical way to purchase the machine is to order the Z61E base and add just the Z61-1 and Z61-2 rods from the Z61 setup.

J88 CORROSION CRACKER PENETRATING OIL
Our Ferrees Corrosion Cracker Penetrating Oil is unbelievable. We put it on a cornet 1st valve slide that had been stuck for years. After allowing it to set overnight, the slide was REMOVED BY HAND, using no tools whatsoever. A recent scientific discovery reduces surface tension so that this amazing solvent creeps into openings as small as ONE MILLIONTH OF AN INCH. Some parts can be loosened immediately, others may require a little more time for the oil to work its way to the full length. BUT it will work! You can loosen valve and tuning slides, stuck or slow moving woodwind keys and stack rods, nuts, bolts, studs, screws, pulleys, shafts, bearings, pipe threads, valve guides or any other corroded metal parts. You can lubricate air driven tools, remove rust, gummed oil and grease.
BRASSWIND TOOLS
E90 TUNING SLIDE PLIERS
These are the finest tools on the market for removing stubborn, corroded tuning slides on brass instruments. The process is very easy. Just fit the sharp edge of the plier into the gap between the inner and outer slide as far as possible. Set the safety screw so the tubing cant accidentally be crushed by hand pressure. Then, by tapping on the opposite side of the tool with a rawhide mallet, while applying pressure to the handles the slide will break loose and move. Penetrating oil, such as J88 Corrosion Cracker Oil, should always be applied to the affected slide area before any slide removal method is tried.

N98 VALVE LAPPING MACHINE
The N98 Valve Lapping Machine is extremely useful even if your shop doesnt rebuild valves. After a bent valve has been straightened, and is working, first be sure the valve guide or star is removed. Then: Install the valve stem in the chuck, included with a chuck key so you can control the tightness. Use about a 1/4 (6.4mm) diameter drop of L58 Ultra Smooth Lapping Compound and spread it all over the valve. As the valve turns in the motor, carefully work the casing slowly back and forth over the valve from the top and bottom ends of the casing. Continue with this lapping process for about one minute, then Clean the valve thoroughly
F10 DENT HAMMERS

For brass instrument repair, including saxophones and other metal parts on woodwinds. Five different sizes, various shapes for dent work. The hammers are available individually or in a set of 5. The heads are hardened steel. The handles are user friendly.

L58 ULTRA SMOOTH LAPPING COMPOUND

This is a lapping compound made with a natural abrasive. It may be safely used on brass without the worry of any abrasive residue being left behind. The extremely fine grit will polish the roughness out of valve casings or tuning slides for smooth action. Especially useful when used with the N58 Valve Mandrels, the N28 Valve sleeves or the N98 Valve Lapping Machine. The Lapping Compound should be cleaned from the surface using Z10 Cold Cleaner. 1200 grit leaves nice monel appearing finish.

A NOTE ON BALLS IN HALF SIZE GRADUATIONS

These balls help provide a more precise fit, because many new instruments are thinner than they used to be, these in between sized balls allow removal of dents without over expanding the tubing. They produce a better finish especially in the new French Horns, trombones and trumpets.
This scriber has a tungsten carbide tip, with a permanent magnet on the other end. The point reverses for safety. Can be used to touch up engraving or mark identifying numbers on tools, motors and other property.

N84S WENDELL SCIENTIFIC DENT BALL SET
The design of these unique balls comes from the archives of the old Erick Brand Company. They were called Wendel Scientific Dent Balls. The shape of the balls resembles an old fashioned beehive or dome. The tip is not round or oval, the shape is a combination of curves that makes dents push up easily but also leaves a flat area at the back of the ball for dent hammer work. The balls have a 1/2-13 thread so they will screw on your existing N31, N32, N33, N34, N67, N69 and N74 dent rods. There are 6 balls in the set. The diameters are 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, and 3. These balls will work on saxophones, French horns, trombones, baritones and basses. They are made from high quality steel with a satin finish.

*NEW* N89 ROD THREAD ADAPTORS
The threaded steel driver balls are made in four sizes . The process is to use the largest driver ball you can get through the tube as it will be the one that drives the work ball back out. The stroke cables are the cables that go between the driver balls and that hold the work ball. The work ball is moved by pulling the draw cables back and forth. When the draw cable is sharply pulled, the driver ball strikes the work ball to move it under the dent and after the work is done the other driver ball strikes the work ball on the other side to remove it. The driver balls are controlled by your pulling one of the draw cables in a sharp motion, either way. The length of the stroke cable is determined by the length of the ball and the dent itself. The swivel makes the system easy to use. The swivel helps keep the cables from getting twisted and tangled when screwing the tool together or changing ball sizes.

In the universal search to find better methods to do better work, Ferrees developed this system of lightweight wooden dent balls with a center of steel, covering about the middle third of the ball area; providing a nice large work area. (U.S. patent #4727745) In the history of brass repair, many materials have been tried for making good workable dent balls. In every instance, it was determined that only steel was satisfactory for the best results. However, when you are dealing with dent balls of this large a proportion, weight becomes an issue. Steel balls this size would be unusable. Hence, Cliffs lightweight woodies.

P84 TUBA DENT REMOVAL CABLE SYSTEM
Designed to be used with the P82 Lightweight Tuba Dent balls, this system consists of: *2- 7 foot long nylon covered cables *2- cable gripping aluminum handles *5- threaded steel driver balls *4- different length stroke cables The handles are designed to slide up and down the cable. When squeezed, they grip. They are strongly constructed of aluminum and delrin, they wont come off the cable, unless you disassemble them. The threaded drivers are made in 5 sizes. Use the heaviest driver ball you can get into the tube, which will be the one that drives the work ball back out. It takes 2 driver balls, 1 to drive it in and 1 to drive it out. The stroke cables are the cables that go between the driver balls and hold the work ball. The length of the stroke cable is determined by the length of the ball and the dent itself. The swivel makes the system easy to use. The swivel helps keep the cables from getting twisted and tangled when screwing together.

*NEW* P83 ROD TAYLOR CABLE SET
P84
Tuba Dent Removal System
Named for Rod Taylor of Taylors Band and Orchestra in Akron, OH. Rod pioneered using the larger P82 Wood balls, in similar fashion to the way we have all used the smaller steel balls for many years. Several years ago, we made him a special cable so that you could tunk the balls in a little further and after the work is done, you can tunk the ball back out very easily. If you hang the right weight driver balls onto the cable properly, the natural strength or tension of the cable will keep the balls suspended in the air; so that they don't bang on the inside of the bore. There are 4 cables in the P83S set, 6 , 7, 8 and 9 in length, so that you can use the method over the entire series of large barrel balls, including the steel ones, which are smaller than the wooden P82s. There are also two threaded brass retainers, one for each end of the cable to keep everything contained and make it faster for assembly and disassembly, when changing ball sizes.

The Trombone Slide Remover Collars are now made with two size openings. The G32A set is .600 (15.2mm) to fit regular trombones and the G32B is .656 (16.7mm) for bass trombones. Both sets consist of two tapered collars and one straight wedge collar. The two tapered collars are inserted in the crack between the threads and the nut on opposite sides of the frozen joint. When pressed toward each other they grow in thickness, forcing the bell section apart from the slide section. If there is too much space in the crack after the two tapered collars are inserted, the straight wedge can be inserted as a shim. Press together by hand, by tapping gently with a rawhide mallet or by gently pressing in a vise. G32A Slide Removal Collars for tenor Trombone G32B Slide Removal Collars for Bass Trombone
The N15 Mouthpiece Shank Arbor is a stepped and tapered steel shaft for rounding out the different mouthpiece shanks. It will fit all sizes brass instrument mouthpieces.

*NEW* P57 HOOK-BACK TOOL A DRIVER/RETRIEVER FOR FRENCH HORN P56 FRENCH HORN DENT BALL DRIVER/RETRIEVER
MARCHING BRASS INSTRUMENTS
Imagine taking the dents out of the tapered tubing of a French horn, from the bell flare to the valve section, without unsoldering the instrument! The need to realign the braces and reassemble the horn is eliminated. The time needed for dent work in these areas of the horn is a fraction of what it used to be. The P56 can also be used with marching brass instruments. The P56 shares many of the same features, and operates the same way as the P50 for cornets. The big difference is that the P56 comes apart in segments so that the length can be changed. Altering the tool length allows the Repairman to reach any damaged area while still enjoying precision placement of the ball. (US Patent 4727744)
BRASSWIND TOOLS
Another ball centered cable tool. This tool offers more power and flexibility for French horn dents in the hand grip area than ever before. It consists of the new P57A Power Handle, the necessary ball segments and a special 5 stroke cable. You use this tool with the N62AS(.775 to 1.250) and/or N62BS ball sets. Then, to get smaller than .775(19.7mm) you have to use your N57G set which is .750 (19.0mm) and smaller. You may want to use the N57X four ball set as blenders. All P56 segments may be used with this tool also.

This tool is great for removing abrasion dents or ping dents in the bottom bow of a trombone without taking it apart. It also allows for a little English on the ball to hold it to the dent even though the ball is .010 or .015- too small due to the connection ring and hand slide ferrule soldering, which shrinks the tubing leading to the bottom bow disallowing a larger, proper ball. Not for dead end smashes, which require removing the bow, bowguard or cap and possibly annealing of the tube.

P51 TUBA MOUTHPIPE DENT BALL DRIVER/RETRIEVER DENT BALL HAMMERS Trombone/Baritone & Cornet/Trumpet
This tool simplifies tuba mouthpipe dent removal on American style tubas without requiring unsoldering and removal of the mouthpipe tube. To use the tool, remove the driver first. Then insert the whole unit into the mouthpipe through the mouthpiece receiver. The threaded end of the cable will drop through into the valve casing. Next, slide one, two, three, etc dent balls on the cable and attach the largest driver ball that will fit into the mouthpipe. Lubricate the dent balls with J88, Z6 or similar lubricant. Feed the dent balls and driver into the mouthpipe with your fingers. Do not try to pull them into the mouthpipe with the cable as they may mar the port edge. With a snapping back and forth motion drive the dent balls through the dent. To remove the dent balls use a back and forth motion with the flexible driver, which will push them into the valve casing. The procedure is repeated as often as required to remove the dent or dents. Does not work on short action valves.
Although alike in appearance and principle to the other Dent Ball Driver/Retrievers, the P54 and P55 work slightly differently. The steel dent balls do not attach to the cable as they do on the P50, P52 and P56. The P54 and P55 are used strictly to drive the dent ball in and out of the tuning slide. This takes the place of shaking a driver behind the dent ball and possibly placing a lot of little dents in the slide from the inside. (US Patent #4727744) Use N57G dent balls.

This tool removes dents from between where the rod and ball stop coming in from both ends in a tenor sax neck. You can knock out dents as easily as on any baritone or French horn, and quick.
~REPAIR TIP~
French Horn Stringing...It is important to remember when stringing a rotor valve; that the strings do not touch; as that increases wear and binding up etc. They may work, despite this, but, try to have them NOT touch; sometimes you can achieve this by bending the angled, strung arm up or down. On occasion, you have to bend the arm toward or away from the stop arm. We call this,. string over or string under as to where the strings wind up.

*NEW* P50 DENT BALL HOLDER DRIVER/RETRIEVER P52 DENT BALL DRIVER/ RETRIEVER FOR CYLINDRICAL TUBING AND FRENCH HORN TUNING SLIDES
This model of the Dent Ball Driver/Retriever is designed to be used in the irregular shaped French horn tuning slides. No other dent ball holding dent tool can give you the control and speed that this tool delivers. It is so innovative that it is patented. The tool is designed to be used with the N57G and N57GH barrel-type dent ball sets. The outstanding features of this tool are its ability to place the ball exactly where you want it and then, retrieve it quickly, after use. There is no need to unsolder the bell. This is a precision designed and engineered tool. The P50 Dent Ball Driver/Retriever consists of a chromed steel handle connected to several nylon balls on a cable. These balls are held stationary by a round steel driver. Next comes the stroke cable, a short length of cable with a threaded fitting attached to the cable end. The kit includes two brass balls which screw onto the threaded cable fitting attached to the cable end. These brass balls hold the dent ball on the stroke cable. The new longer sleeve is provided to protect the inside bore from scratching. A complete set of instructions comes with the tool. An older set of dent balls may be drilled out easily with a #29 drill bit. Be sure to protect the ball surface when drilling them out. (US Patent #4727744) However, many Repairmen have told us the tool is definitely not limited to tuning slides on French horns. It works very well for any instruments that have cylindrical tubing as well as cornet mouthpipes.

N83 ROLLER BALLS
Friction Free Dent Balls
*NEW* N29S SPECIAL DENT BALL SET
In normal dent removal there is a considerable amount of friction between the ball and the surface being worked upon. That is why many repairmen coat the dent balls with Vaseline...the less friction the better. This is especially true as you start working with the larger balls in order to do baritones, some marching brass, tubas, souses, etc We have taken 4 balls, sized 1, 1-1/2, 2 and 2 -1/2 (25.4, 38.1, 50.8, 63.5mm) and fit them with roller bearings. Two high quality bearings for each These specially produced balls are not a typical ball. Then we adapted them so they would screw onto spherical or barrel type ball. These are for odd places the end of a standard dent rod. The largest three have you are sometimes faced with. Some are egg shaped, 1/2-13 threads and the smallest has 3/8-16 thread. some are semi-elliptical, all are very usable. These roller balls will roll, rather than slide, as you N29S Set of 6 Special Shaped Balls work the dent out.

~REPAIR TIP~
Better Dent Work Using Your Dent Hammer Normally, you would use round balls (N80Ds or Es) screwed on 5/8 or 3/4 rods like N31s or a N74 mounted in a vise with a V-Block to form the tubing around. With this setup you would use a F10A or B dent hammer to burnish and push the metal back to a nice cylindrical form. You are not supposed to hammer, directly ON a ball. You use the ball as a form or mandrel and then hammer right next to the ball radius; essentially making the ball a hammer or form , from the inside out.
~REPAIR TIP~
Better Dent Work Using Your Dent Hammer Remember, the more you hammer direct, the thinner and harder and larger the metal gets and work hardening sometimes creates cracks. You may have to anneal, and that gets messy with all the posts and sometimes tone holes. But, if you label everything and draw some pictures you will probably be okay, anyway, lacking a Z60 and either a Z61, 61E Base or a 61S Stand and some toys, of course. Then, the dents just kind of roll out. There are times however, that you must anneal BEFORE using even the dent machine.

N86 TRUMPET MOUTHPIPE DENT ROLLER N56 TAPERED MOUTHPIPE CABLE KIT
This is a system which greatly simplifies the removal of dents from tapered mouthpipes. It allows the Repairmen to drive and retrieve a dent ball from areas that were previously very difficult to reach, if not impossible. The kit is made from high quality, galvanized, industrial cable covered with tough nylon tubing. The cable has a threaded connection in the middle of its length. This connection allows the cable to be split into two pieces so the Repairmen can put a different dent ball on the cable without removing the cable from the horn. The N56 Tapered Mouthpiece Cable Kit is a must for all brass repair shops. The N56 when fully assembled is 90 long. Use N57G and/or N57GH dent balls.
The N86 Trumpet Mouthpipe Dent Roller Kit consists of two parts: (1) The two-headed dent roller and (2) the tapered mandrel with a stop sleeve. The two headed mandrel accomplishes several things. The curvature of the working surfaces of the roller works harmoniously with the curvature of the specially designed, floating, tapered mandrel. The other end of this mandrel works terrifically to take a dent out of a straight tuning slide for cornet, French horn, trumpet and mellophone. Since you will be applying equal pressure almost all the way around the mouthpipe, there is very little chance of producing egg shaped tubing If properly done. Also, the long mandrel inside the tubing gives you the leverage to work easier and retain more control. It has been said that this tool not only takes out dents, it actually remanufactures the mouthpipe. Heres how to use it: * Place the two headed dent roller in a strong vise * Remove the mouthpipe from the trumpet * Clean off solder and any other debris. * Slip the mandrel into the trumpet mouthpipe * Position the sliding sleeve so that the mouthpipe is against the sleeve and slightly loose on the mandrel. * Using the knurled screw, lock it in place so the mouthpipe cannot move up and wedge itself tightly on the mandrel. The end of the trumpet mouthpipe will push against the edge of the sleeve while you are using the tool. The mouthpipe must float at least by 1/4 laterally. * Place the mouthpipe, with the mandrel inside, between the rollers and apply side pressure to push the mouthpipe against the rollers. * Push the mouthpipe and mandrel back and forth between the rollers (while still placing pressure). Rotate this mouthpipe/mandrel constantly and the dent will be removed. For best results use both hands, one at each end of the rod.

N49 TRUMPET MOUTHPIPE DENT ROD

Now, the dent balls can be inserted and removed into the trumpet mouthpipe in a quick and precise way, without using the shake the dent ball into place using a driver and then try to shake it back out with another driver method. Since the bell flare usually blocks the entrance to the horn from the large end of the tapered mouthpipe, it is necessary to go into the small end. You can do this to some extent with a N91B rod and the smallest a N80A ball, but you are limited because of the venturi. With this tool, you pull the ball into place, do your work and then push it back out (use N57 balls on page 13).

N55 KNUCKLE DENT RODS

A B C D E
Many dents on brass instruments can be removed easily using these knuckle tools. The tools are designed so that they can get into many hard to reach areas, then dents can be pushed out without unnecessary hammering or over working the brass. This cuts down on the possibility of cracking or stretching the metal. With these tools you reverse the action of the impact which caused the dent. In other words, you push the metal out instead of in. This set is used on all valve ports and other small diameter crooks. It consists of five 1/4 (6.4mm) rods, running in varying degrees from a straight rod to a 90 (right angle). This set is used with the N80A Dent Rod Ball Set. Each rod has a threaded end which will receive a 5/16 (7.9mm), 3/8 (9.5mm) or a 7/16 (11.1mm) ball. By interchanging the ball you multiply the various configuration of the rods and balls to make a total of 15 different tools at your disposal. Use N80AS. We suggest getting 5 extra N54As for custom bending.
This set of rods consists of five knuckle tools designed along the same principle as the N54 rods. They are 3/8 (9.5mm) in diameter with angles varying from straight to 90 for use with the larger instruments; trombone, baritone, euphonium, tuba and sousaphone crooks and bows as well as blending in the cornet and trumpet bells in the area between where the N57 dent balls stop and the tapered mandrel quits. These rods use the N80BS set of 5 dent balls giving the user a possibility of 25 different combinations. Get 3 N55Es for custom bending.

N95 & N96 DENT REMOVING RINGS G45 CORK BARREL DENT REMOVER
We now have available, three large Dent Removing Rings for use on larger brass instruments. These are variations of the large rings that go with our Z60 Dent Machine. They measure 3-1/2, 4-1/2 and 5 -1/2 in diameter and are 1-5/8 wide. The outer surfaces of the rings are rounded, so they can be used to push out dents in curved areas such as in baritone horns and tuba bells elbows. You can reform damaged tubing with them using a rawhide mallet. Their surfaces are polished as they will often be used against lacquered or polished surfaces. The center hole is tapped for 1/2-13 thread so that they can be used with any of our dent rods designed to hold our N80D and N80E dent balls. These three Dent Removing Rings make an excellent extension to our N80 Dent Ball Sets for the Repairmen who work on larger brass instruments and do not have our Z60 Dent Machine
A really great time saver! No longer is it necessary to remove trombone slide rails to take dents out of the cork barrel. Also, this tool can be used to raise the area on a cork barrel where the hand slide brace has been dented into it, still without removing the cork barrel. So the slide does not have to be realigned and soldered. Save on alignment time........soldering time...re-assembly time, polishing & lacquering, etc.. The large part of the tool is inserted into a vise with an L14 V-Block. The slide rail is inserted through the opening in the small end of the tool and the cork barrel is forced over the working surface of the tool. Dent work is performed either with a rawhide mallet, a dent hammer or hand manipulation. Two standard sizes are necessary to cover the major brands. For instance, Holton and Olds require the large G45A, but Conn and Martin, the smaller G45B. G45A Cork Barrel Dent Remover, Larger Size G45B Cork Barrel Dent Remover, Smaller Size

~REPAIR TIP~
Pulling Half-Tone Crooks...When pulling a stuck slide on a cornet or trumpet, and the rawhide gives up; try using an old catgut bass fiddle (violin) string. It is strong, it fits and its long. Dont use the metal part or a metal string. This from our customer John in New Castle, New South Whales, Australia.

Thanks for your advice. I removed the finish, cleaned it, and went back with two thin coats of clear. It was OK.Al, VA

N131- N140 HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN MADE ADJUSTABLE REAMERS N14 MOUTHPIPE RECEIVER FORMING MANDRELS
When installing a new French horn mouthpipe or a new trombone venturi tube, these custom steel forming dies provide the proper taper to receive the mouthpiece inside the ferrule or cork barrel.
Some repairmen prefer a reamer to fix valve casings. If you do, you need these American made adjustable reamers. They are the most precisionmade, adjustable reamers weve found. These reamers are also handy for woodwind work. These reamer blades are so accurately ground that you can replace them right in your own shop...without regrinding.

F5 RAWHIDE MALLETS L15 DRAW RINGS
These two sets of Draw Rings replace the old style drawplate. Drawplates are approximate at best and once damaged are done. The rings are not only much more convenient to use, they are replaceable individually. Each inside surface is a perfect radius in both directions, making it much superior to the old fly cut, hand polished radiuses. The rings are chrome plated for smoother action and to resist rusting. They may be used by hand, held in a vise or in the L19 Handle. Individual rings are numbered according to size in the set, #1 being the smallest. #18 is the most commonly used from size in both sets for dent work. They may be purchased separately. The larger set works best on baritones, euphoniums, sax necks and smaller sousa and tuba tubing. ALL of the rings are graduated in .015 (.38mm) steps. L15A RINGS No. Size

The F5B Extra Large Rawhide Mallet really packs a wallop. It weighs in at about 22 oz. (624g). Used primarily for striking dent rods when using the rebound method. 12 (305mm) long handle. Rebounding is a method used to raise dents by placing the dent ball under the depressed area, pushing down and then striking the dent rod with the large mallet. The after shock of the blow raises the depressed area. If you dont keep pressure on the ball, it will dent the opposite side. F5B Rawhide Mallet 2-3/4 (69.8mm) X 4-1/2 (114mm)

N68 RIGHT ANGLE DENT ROD G39 VALVE GUIDE FITTING TOOL
This tool is scientifically shaped, drilled and tapped to hold valve guides and stars for valve instruments. To use, you screw the guide into the fitting tool and file it to the proper width to fit the guide slot. When the guide is fitted, remove it from the tool and install it in the valve, then file it to the proper height. The tapered end screws into stars. Saves time and eliminates filing of the valve.
This rod is used to remove dents from mouth pipes. Especially for Conn 14A & 15A cornets which have tuning slides set up like a trumpet or any other instrument where you dont have clearance to get by the bell. Use with an N80A set of balls, which must be ordered separately.

P100 VALVE THREAD MANDRELS
For many years we had requests for a tool that would straighten and reset the threads on either bent in, bent out or worn out valve casing caps top or bottom. Ferrees Valve Thread Mandrels will do this, prevent many accidents from happening in the first place, and even more. The worst thing you could do to a valve casing in this condition is to use a die, thread chaser or grooving tool. This will remove brass where the brass is needed. Valve casings are very weak in the threaded areas to start with.
BRASSWIND TOOLS
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
Most repairmen take out knuckle dents with our N54 Knuckle Tools and N80A Balls. Sometimes, while working on a knuckle between valves on a horn with thick brass, it is easy for the tools to slip causing a little expansion of the valve casing threads. If one of our Valve Thread Mandrels were screwed on the end where you insert the knuckle tool, such a mishap could be prevented.
REFORMS METAL
Ferrees Valve Thread Mandrels dont have any abrasive or cutting action. They are basically a forming tool to reform threads into their original positions, smoothing up any burrs or waviness. Because of their solid design, these Valve Thread Mandrels can be started on a ruptured part more easily than if they were slotted. They have a hex SPECIAL ORDERS handle which makes them easier to control than a T handle. If you need a special size, larger or smaller or a Our Valve Thread Mandrels leave a smooth different thread, we can make it for you at no burnished finish that cant be obtained from any case additional charge.

LISTING OF SIZES
We have the Valve Thread Mandrels listed by sizes in the 27, 32, 36 and 40 threads with notations telling you what horns the various sizes will fit. If your shop only works on one brand of instrument, it would only be necessary to have the correct size and one size over. But if you work on many brands as most shops do, it would be more convenient to have at least a set of ten. New Asian sizes will be available as they are established.

P100 VALVE THREAD MANDREL SIZES
The number listed in the chart below tells the size of the mandrel. The first two numbers indicate the thread pitch and the last two numbers indicate the diameter in 64ths of an inch. NOTE: In most cases you will need at least two P100 Mandrels to repair damaged threads. One mandrel will be the actual size of the horn as listed below and the second will be 1 size larger for external thread or 1 size smaller for internal thread As an example, if you needed to repair an All Star cornet, you would order one P100 in size 3651 and the second in size 3652. If the size you need is not listed on the charts, Ferrees will make it for you. As always, our customer service people will be glad to help you. These mandrels may be ordered individually or more economically in sets of 10.

F11 CLIFF S CANVAS MALLET *NEW* Z6 SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT
It is important to use this NEW Z6 synthetic lubricant in all friction producing actions. This product, when mixed with your petroleum jelly is Great! It makes all of your movements easier; burnishing, rubbing or contouring. It also tends not to allow as much, if any, scratching of the raw brass or lacquered surfaces. It is also very good with silver plated surfaces. Z6 should be mandatory for all burnishing jobs. Especially rod and ball work. Comes in 4 oz can. MANDATORY for the Z60-13 aluminum balls.
This mallet is one of the best new ideas to come along in years, but also one of the most difficult to write about. You really have to take this great little mallet in your hand and work with it to appreciate what it can do. Cliff Ferree made one of these mallets for his personal use some time ago. He liked it so well, that he wanted to make it available to his customers, too! The hardness is between a brass hammer and a rawhide hammer. It is made of rolled canvas and high pressure phenoilic-type mica. This is the same substance used to make printed circuit boards used in space projects where reliability and strength are so important. It delivers a little more punch than a rawhide mallet, but will not mar a surface like a brass hammer or a dent hammer. The precut tapered edge is thinner than normally used on a rawhide mallet and therefore, concentrates more power directly to the target. Some of the repairmen that have tried this mallet describe the feel as snappy. We are sure that you will enjoy using this space age mallet yourself, and of course, trying this hammer will make you a believer. This really is a try-it-youll-like-it tool.

~REPAIR TIP~
A Bit About Flutes...Bundy flutes usually work just fine using ALL our standard .114 thick pads in the big sizes, and for the three little 11mm pads; I (Gary Ferree) have always used the B21 double skinned clarinet pads because they have a thicker cardboard on the back which keeps them flatter for better seating and the thicker skin makes them less crinkly as far as noise goes and more durable. At least, in my mind. Also, less shellac to manage.
This 4 oz (113g) brass head is for use when you need something firmer and more persuasive.

N58 GROUND CASING MANDRELS N28 GROUND VALVE SLEEVES
BRASSWIND TOOLS
These are solid steel mandrels used to remove dents from valve casings and to straighten casings if they are sprung. Easier, faster and more safe to use than reamers and almost impossible to damage a casing using these mandrels. They are not adjustable, so you must know the size you need or the brand and model of the instrument. Precision measuring is helpful.
These steel sleeves are used to straighten bent and out of round pistons. The sleeves have been bored and then honed to the exact sizes used when the valve casings were manufactured. They are not adjustable. This is a forming die.
TO USE
Remove the valve cap, finger button, stem and guide from the piston. Select the proper diameter sleeve and push the piston all the way in so the main body of the piston is completely covered by the sleeve. Hold this complete assembly in the palm of your hand. Use a F5 rawhide or canvas mallet and strike the outside of the steel sleeve many times, rotating the sleeve in your hand as you go, so hammer blows strike the sleeve all the way around. Continue this procedure until the piston works freely in the sleeve.
The recommended procedure for use: Mount the instrument on a wood assembly mandrel in a vise. Thoroughly clean the casings with F7 Brasso and Z10 Cold Cleaner Select the proper size mandrel for the instrument and insert it all the way into the casing. When ready to hit the mandrel, STRIKE SHARPLY. It is the quantity of hits that raises the dents and straightens casings, not the force ORDER THE EXACT SIZE. used. Strike firmly-not hard. SLEEVES ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE Use the side of a rawhide mallet and strike the small end of the mandrel with many small and repeated taps. Use sideways and up TO ORDER CORRECT SIZEorder by the size of the valve wanted. Example Yamaha .664 and down hits. Aim at port intersections.
ORDER THE EXACT SIZE. MANDRELS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE

TO ORDER THE CORRECT SIZEOrder by the O.D. of the piston. Example: Yamaha .664. N58A For cornet and trumpet N58C For alto horn, valve trombone, baritone and euphonium N58D For sousaphone, Tuba, Bari

P90 TROMBONE LEVELING STONE
This precision cut and ground granite is within .0001 (.0025mm) of being level. It is fitted with a removable slide assembling jig, consisting of two precision ground rails, each of which has a permanently mounted guide pin and three 10 lb pull, dual pole magnetic holders. The combination of the tapered holders and the permanently mounted guide pins will hold any size slide in position without any damage to the slide rails (tubes).
P91 ADJUSTABLE STAND FOR TROMBONE LEVELING BLOCK

If you have a P90 Trombone Leveling Stone, the P91 Adjustable Stand is what youve been wanting. The stand holds the stone at the right level for you to see the bends in the tubing. Also provides a better lighting position, allows a comfortable posture while working, eliminates dropping the heavy stone on your foot or ankle, provides convenient storage by allowing you to roll the stone out of the way when not in use.
P91 Adjustable Stand

The P90 Trombone Leveling Stone with the holders in place is used to reassemble a slide after it has been straightened and aligned or when installing any new rails (tubes) or other parts (hand brace or end bow). The magnetic holders hold the slide exactly in position after measuring so that binding wire is not necessary. In actual use, the two magnetic holders on the right would be in position, but we have tipped them on their sides so you can see the magnets mounted in the bottoms. By removing the assembling jig or turning it to the rear, the stone can be used to straighten sprung slides the same way the steel leveling plate was used. Also, the granite is much superior to a glass leveling plate, because glass is very elastic and quickly effected by temperature changes. The P90 Trombone Leveling Stone has a bracket on the bottom so that it may be mounted in a vise. By removing the bracket you can screw the stone to the P91 Stand. The P90 Trombone Leveling Stone comes complete with the vise mounting bracket, two precision ground slide spacing rails and 6 magnets.

These NEW Tubing True Tool mandrels allow the most precision and accurate way to round and straighten brass band instrument tubing, including trombone slide rail tubes. These new precision ground mandrels allow about a 3 times more precise fit than even our regular mandrels; both foreign and domestic. The new 11 length brings this proven idea into the 21st century, so that in conjunction with your N87A trombone pliers you will have the perfect meld of both accuracy and speed. 34 sizes available. The N87A requires approximately 5.5 of work space for best results. The NEW P88 provides 11 for a 100% safety factor. The P88 also has incorporated a delrin Safety Stop to help prevent over run, which is used on our P53 with great success for several years. Comes with instructions.

N53 REGULAR TROMBONE SLIDE MANDRELS
These N53 mandrels are perfectly straight, high carbon, 36 (91.4cm) rods. The leading edges of these rods are chamfered for safe insertion. The other end of the rod is knurled for placement in the vise. We can make any size needed. These mandrels can also be used to keep slides straight during buffing. They are also used by those who prefer the traditional method of repairing dented trombone slides.

*NEW* N87A TROMBONE ROLLING SLIDE DENT TOOL

This tool is a complete departure from previous methods of trombone slide dent removal. We used to use a N52 or N53 mandrel fitted into the slide and a N12 ring to burnish the slide. Years later, with the N12 ring mounted in the vise, lubricated and petroleum jelly or bar soap, you dragged the slide through the ring on an angle and scrubbed the dents out. Of course, this scratched the finish even with the soap or petroleum jelly used. But, the larger problem was that IT BENT THE SLIDE. Now, you really had something to fix. We then advanced to using the old N87 which had two rollers to angle the slide thru, thus rolling out the dents and leaving less damage to the finish and maybe not bending the slide tube rails quite as much. This new N87A is based on an idea from Dr. Mike Webb who had used some old modified N87 parts with some long tubular metal and a piece of threaded rod with some acorn nuts. Gary used this tool in Iowa at a clinic and Mike later sent it to him to use and measure. Curtis drew it up and then Gary showed Cliff how well it worked. After observing the tool in action Cliff reduced the size and made it a little more user friendly with a stabilizing wing, an indexing system and coated aluminum handles so that the tool is safer, more manageable, easier to use and still very affordable.

N10 & N11 EXPANDABLE DENT REMOVAL TOOLS G8 VERNIER COMPARATIVE CALIPER
FOR COMPARING DISTANCES
A tool of specific size such as an N53 Mandrel cannot work equally well on both the beginning section and the bottom section of the slide. This is because the first 4 inches of the slide is from .002 to .010 (.05mm to .15mm) smaller than the rest of the slide on 90% of all trombones. This is caused by shrinkage of the tubing when the hand brace or outer sleeve is soldered on. This can also be caused by the slide being jarred in such a way that the hand brace is pushed slightly into the slide. Using the tool is simple. First, clean the trombone slide thoroughly with F7 Brasso, Z10 Cold Cleaner and a dry cheesecloth rag as per our standard process. Put the tool in the vise and slide the trombone slide loosely over the tool. Turn the adjusting nut until the expandable working part of the tool is snug under a portion of the tubing that is dent free. Then, merely slide the trombone slide back and forth over the working part of the tool with a slightly rotating movement. This will produce a smooth burnishing action. The tool is polished chromed steel. It will not burr or scrape the inside tubing. Rotate until the slide feels smooth. Remove the slide and wipe it out with a clean length of X50 cheesecloth. The dent will probably have disappeared; if not, repeat the operation with the adjusting nut a little tighter.
Graduated in both millimeters and 1/32, 6 (152mm) long, with 5-3/8 (137mm) capacity, this device is an economical wonder when it comes to simple machine work, like tenons, toneholes and sockets. Your sense of feel can be more accurate than you need to be. For comparing distances that are to be the same, you can use these inexpensive calipers and compare the tension between the trombone slide rails or tubes. The measurement doesnt matter as long as the distance between them is the same, measured by your good sense of feel. Check alignment of trombone slides, tuning slides and other parallel dimensions.

The plate has a 3 (76mm) X 20 (508mm) ground surface. It is inexpensive and excellent for straightening individual rails of trombone slides. The 20 (508mm) length will not interfere with the hand slide brace sleeve. CAUTIONDO NOT attempt to solder on this plate. Acid fumes will destroy the ground finish and the heat could warp the steel. For soldering work, the P90 Trombone Leveling Stone should be used.

The Rocket Roller is a rotating bell mandrel with a specially designed concave taper. One end of the tool accepts one of two interchangeable heads: one for cornet, trumpet, flugelhorn, another for trombone and baritone. The other end is a rotating tapered mandrel, 1 (25.4mm) to 3/8 (9.5mm), which can roll against the bell ring, inside tapers on trumpet, cornet, trombone bells etc.. The concave taper is the secret to the ease of operation and easy blending with the P80 Rocket Roller.

New O28 model has a hole in center of the base plate, so that P56 (on page 19) can be used with it. Some of the more unique features include: an adjustable hand brake to allow the Repairmen to rotate the instrument 360 and lock in place at any angle; a base and holding groove covered with felt to prevent scratching; adjustable holding blocks to securely hold any size French horn bell in place.
