Got a Selmer USA flute in for summer repair today that has a badly bent body. There is a big dent in the front that has pushed in on the G tone hole and it needs to be leveled (rolled of course). The whole body is bent there at a 1-3 degree angle or so. Any big advice on how to handle this correctly? First time I've had to deal with this problem, want to make sure and take the right path.
