Dear CryoNet folks,

The following is a post to the Trumpet Mailing List and it deals with
freezing trumpets.  I am posting it to CryoNet because it would be
useful to have an expert with a scientific background in this area
give feedback on the following Brass freezing concept.  You could send your
reply directly to the Trumpet Players mailing list by sending e-mail to
 (preferred) or to me ()
and I will forward to the list.

] To all,
]      I was recently reading the Brasswind catalog and saw that they offer a 
] freezing process for your instrument (brass).  Cost for a trumpet was around 

] $174, I believe.  They slowly lower the temperature to -300 degrees F.  The ad

] says this will take the stress out of your horn and allow more resonance, etc.

]      Has anyone had this process done to his trumpet?  Did it really change 
its

] characteristics?  How about a scientific explanation?  It seems a small price
] if it can really give you a new trumpet.  Thanks for your responses.
