What will happen to the sound quality if I fill rust pits on the horn trumpets with glaze before painting? I'd like to get rid of the pits for aesthetic reasons, but I worry about the sound for musical reasons!

Well played, sir!

If anything the sould will get better! The resonator of a trumpet is designed to allow the sound created "at the back end" to develop and grow as the wave travels through the resonator. Making the resonator more of a "pure" shape can only help.

Recognizing that reducing rusty resonance will not impede the tintinabulation from my trumpets, I will glaze the pit, so when the button is hit, a melodious melange of mellow musical tones will resonate across the roads and lands through which I travel (after restoration is complete) Thanks for the alliteration to assuage my apprehension.
