This guy's work is amazing:

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.

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??

Sounds slightly better than a kazoo to me.   

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