Re: Red Rot
Probably not.
Red rot has dark red/maroonish centers, and is usually found in the crooks where moisture tends to sit.

Re: Red Rot
That looks like scratches and pitting, but definitely doesn't look like red rot.

Re: Red Rot
It looks like a scratch (blue line) that flaked a bunch of lacquer off with it (yellow). Is there at texture difference at that spot?

Re: Red Rot
It isn't red rod. The lacquer has been compromised, by a scratch. It probably won't get any larger, and is not really an issue. Difficult to repair without doing a complete respray.

Re: Red Rot
Looks like a possible bit of acid bleed, or something similar. I believe red rot is not really something that occurs on bells very often, if at all. It's really something that happens in the areas of the trombone that stay wet, like slides, crooks, and such.

Re: Red Rot
Right, this is more "acid bleed" than red rot. The acid in this case is not from flux, but from the environment the horn lives in. Even just humidity can cause such a discoloration.
