Attention: Do Not try this upon pulling a horn from the "cryo- tank"!

 

For the uninformed, "cryogenic"-treating a horn, involves immersion in a tank of liquid nitrogen, at a temperature of minus (-) 195 degrees Celsius. Supposedly, it realigns the molecules of the brass-alloy, to maximize the resonance of the instrument.

 

BTW -- Wondering (?) if this will improve my Pyramids or Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds?

Yes, but you'll lose that warm tone.
