Re: 2007 Eclipse Contest!

Excellent! That was one of the highlights of my year last year! I had so much fun building that giant trumpet with my boys and writing the story about Silverstar.

It's really exciting to get to be creative, and show my boys that "winning" isn't everything. I think they were genuinely excited when I told them who won the prize and then I had the opportunity to model being a "good loser". A great lesson there!

Thanks for continuing to run this contest each year Leigh!

Re: 2007 Eclipse Contest!

Chuck, is there a tuning slide on the leadpipe? If so, I can't see a separation in the tubing.

No,

One of the things that make Eclipse Trumpets unique, is that Leigh has designed the horns and has moved the tuning slide to the bell bow, or crook.

There is an uninterupted air flow to the valve block.

With one of these trumpets other people tune to you! (The tuning crook is located in the bell bow.)

Re: 2007 Eclipse Contest!

Excellent! I was beginning to think Leigh was just so swamped that he wouldn't have time this year. I look forward to these every year and reading/seeing everyone's entry.

So it begins...
