I found this video intreging, a step by step instruction on building a functional trumpet out of wood. Including real tuning slides and correct bore size through the crooks.

What do you think? Should somebody here try to make one? Who's game... :wink:

My uncle made these horns for me.
They're good for playing on the beach.
He made them when I was 4 miles from Venice Beach.
Now I'm about 4 hours from the Atlantic.
They are a nice conversation piece.
