Self Dent Removal

Today was a good day in Horn world. Where I live, we are wearing shorts pretty much year round. So I figured since it was such nice weather, why not play outside today. Beautiful weather calls for warming up and playing the daily scales outside. I looked around and saw a nice mature oak tree that provided shade from the sun and decided that this would be a prime spot to play. Halfway through my warmup procedure I noticed a dent that I had made in my Horn earlier in the week at a lesson. Being the Mr.Fixit that I am I sought out to find a tool to fix my ugly dent. Looking around this massive oak tree, I noticed that several thumb sized branches had fallen from the tree. I am sure I looked like some form of nomad trying to use tools for the first time, but I proceeded to shove sticks down the bell. Pushing and rubbing resulted in little to no progress. Nature is good for many things but not for taking dents out of a horn.
