Welcome to Brass Lab!!

So I've switched sides for the remainder of the semester!!

We've started buffing, and it's getting more comfortable:

Trombone bell:







Trumpet Bell:




And we started soft soldering:




A few other things I have in the works:

-Overhauling my personal horn: Holton Merker-Matic H276

-Creating a "hybrid" instrument I've named "Mello-Horn"

Stay tuned for updates about those in a separate post.

Check out the Trumpet and Custom Tools pages for updates.

Flute-tastic!

On Friday I finished my Project Flute.  It came out pretty well - check the Flute page for the pictures.  We will be switching labs on Monday - I'm going to miss the Wood wind Lab. In other news I've been working on my own 1930's stencil Clarinet I bought a few months ago.  It's currently getting re-oiled over the weekend.  I will have pictures and updates soon about it.

Weekly, Weekend Update.

Got a lot of work done this week.  Still have a lot to do on my Flute, but if you head over there you can see my progress, LOTS of pictures :)  Also this Friday was a "Lathe Project" Friday so I will update my custom tools page later next week with pictures of the fruits of my labor.
