| Building Your Own Horn!
Hasn't anyone ever wanted to? Wouldn't it be cool, having someone ask about where you got your horn, and saying "I made it".?
Okay, this has been an idea I have entertained since this summer, and today have finally decided to cultivate into a full interest. I want to start learning as much as I can about the art, maybe seeing if I can apply it on some experiements (I am particularly interested in the bells).
Okay, this is a question that I'm sure only Leigh can answer.
If I want to start setting a foundation to build on when it comes to trumpet building, where should I start? Should I find directions on the internet, get materials, and start experiementing? Should I wait until later on, becoming an apprentice with no idea what the hell I'm doing? Whats your story on how you came to build trumpets? What would be your advice to someone setting out to walk the path of trumpet maker?
Im sure I've forgotten a question to ask. Bear with me, I sometimes feel like there are thousands of ideas and musings flying around my head, and I can only grab a handful at a time...
