Claim:
A system for removing dents from musical instruments, comprising: (a) a musical instrument, wherein the musical instrument further comprises at least one tubular metal portion; (b) a first magnetically responsive member, wherein the first magnetically responsive member is substantially spherical in shape; (c) a second magnetically responsive member, wherein the second magnetically responsive member further comprises: (i) a substantially cylindrical handle comprising at least one substantially flattened end, and wherein the material of the handle further comprises a magnetically responsive metal; and (ii) at least one substantially disc-shaped magnet attached to the at least one flattened end of the handle by the magnetic attraction between the handle and the magnet; and (d) wherein the first magnetically responsive member is placed on the inside of the tubular portion of the musical instrument and the second magnetically responsive member is placed on the outside of the tubular portion of the musical instrument opposite the first magnetically responsive member to form a magnetic assembly, and wherein the magnetic force of the magnet urges the first magnetically responsive member against the second magnetically responsive member through the metal of the instrument; and (e) wherein the dent is removed from the musical instrument by moving, sliding, or rocking the magnetic assembly across the dent.
