Great stuff! Reminded me of a violinmaker’s website that I had come across a while back. Take a look. (and scroll down to the pics.)

Very cool!
I hope it’s not considered stealing his idea? I didn’t even know that website existed until now. Incredible artwork and beautiful detail.
I really don’t thing you need to worry about that. I just really like this kind of stuff and thought you would enjoy it. In a slightly different vein, we used to manufacture mouthpiece ligatures for a guy who also had a retail music store and he would pick up old brass instruments that were on longer repairable, take them to someone with a big metal press and have them completely squashed flat. Hung on the wall in his shop as artwork he could get hundreds of dollars for them.

Now THAT’s a good way to get revenge on trumpets… 😉
Windstone collector in remission. 😉
thats awesome I love “green art” where you refurbish and fix something someone else would just chuck or give up on! I like picking things up from thrift stores and giving them a new lease on life!!!
Just “finished” this today… might put a background on it, might not.
“Fence cats” <– working title, but I want to come up with something better.They’ll be with some other pieces at Anthrocon’s Art Show this year.

omg… that is so cool, very unique! And I, too, actually like “fence cats” 8)

Well, I wanted to name it something that ties into its musical “background.” I was going to call it “New York Counterpoint” but if you’re not an avid clarinet fan, you probably won’t recognize the piece of music. I was thinking something like “Moonlight Serenade” too, but the cats aren’t obviously yowling. XD

I know it isn’t really the word fur, but sort of a joke on the spelling: Für Elise 😉
Or the Kit-Kat Club (more jazz-themed in name….)
If you did add a background, I could totally see a blue fabric from the lining of an instrument case, or a flat piece of blue glass.

Oooh, good suggestions! And I was actually asking about an old case with blue velvet I could destroy–errr, use. My schtick is to use only instrument parts and adhesives. (and BOY was I glad to find out we use Cyno Acrilade!… superglue)
