Title: Hand Carved Wood Trumpet
Post by: Fresh_Start on October 17, 2011, 11:18:48 am

This guy's work is amazing:
How a trumpet is made wooden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrg5sv1UQ18#)

This version of Amazing Grace may not be your favorite, but the darned thing plays - spruce springs and all!

A wood-working friend of mine introduced me to this.  Just thought you all might like it too.

Cheers,

It always amazes me how a man can manufacture just about anything he puts his mind to.

I just wonder, all that spit, how does this affect the wood? or the glue??

Oh, it just gives it a wetter, slightly compressed tone  :l2:

Sounds slightly better than a kazoo to me.   :icon_biggrin:

Nice wood working, I admire the craftmanship,but it's still a trumpet!
