It depends on how many dents, where they are located, and how deep. Many can be pounded out and the instrument relacqueres. But if there are too many; then you will need to buy a new Trumpet!!!

Actually it's not as bad as you think. Depending on what part of the trumpet the dent is in, it can be a little trouble; but if the valves move it's not too bad. Any dent anywhere on the trumpet can be fixed, it just depends on the area the dent is located that will determine the price of how much the dent will cost to take out and the brand on the trumpet to determine whether it is worth it or not. For example, a Martin Commitee, Bach Strad, Yamaha Xeno, etc. It would definitely be worth it. Also, older trumpets that may look like pieces of junk but play like Gold.

Generally yes. I would advise that you take it to an instrument repair shop rather than try to fix it yourself. An unskilled hand can easily cause more damage.

How did dizzy gillespie' s trumpet get dented?

He said that he or a stage hand tripped over it just before a performance. he continued with the performance and he liked it so much he had it modified properly. Personally I think this is bunkum. Even on a trumpet stand the bell section would take an incredible amount of force to bend like that. If it did bend at that point, the tubing would cave in.
