Woot!
I FINALLY got my “endless cornet” up and listed on eBay!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300300112729 (check the “before” pic in the auction for reference!)
What’s NOT mentioned in the auction is that there are an *insane* number of hours that I worked on this thing. I’m still a student, so maybe after I’ve restored several dozen of them it’ll get easier, but this boy is about as finished as I care to deal with (even though I’m not completely happy with the finish), and definitely playable.
…and it’s got BIDS already? Whoo! *dances*

Ooooh, a LeBret with a transposing slide! Very nice work Tyrrlin! 🙂 I didn’t know you were an instrumental repair major. 🙂
I have a friend who does instrument repair (I was a former music major myself – changed for health reasons).
Hehe… I just found an old bugle from WWI-WWII era. I haven’t had a chance to get a really good look at it. A little dented, but nothing serious. Mostly just really dirty (blech). I can’t get low notes worth crap, but high notes are easy (I’ve been told this is the opposite of how it usually is, but I think it’s because my chops are so used to flute and piccolo, though my concentration was voice, a late choice :D).
The one instrument I know of several people who’d love to get their paws on if they could ever find one (they’ve been actively looking for years) is a jazz flute. No one makes them anymore, but they’re sooooo kewl. If you ever find one, let me know, good shape or not!

What’s a jazz flute???

I’m curious, too. I’ve never heard of a separate flute just for playing jazz. Do you have any references to such an instrument? I’d love to see one. 🙂

I googled it and just came up with people playing regular flutes for jazz music…. Unless they look the same! Sorry… Kinda hijacked the thread… back to your original programming folks.
