Oh, that is great! I wish I had one as a small boy:

1) Dad played trumpet, so there is a connection with the bell.
2) My great uncle had a working gramophone, and I used to listen to his 78's, so there is another connection.
3) Mom could have turned that up to get me to breakfast instead of having to yell across the house to get out of bed - breakfast is ready - you will be late for school - didn't your alarm clock go off - are you dressed yet - etc.
4) And finally: yes, souzy is my preferred brass instrument, and playing outdoors on a nice afternoon.

Hmmm. I wonder how my favorite, Captain Crunch, would sound?
Is there a matching drum-motif small mug for juice?

What are recommended Mouthpieces? Will it take standard american shank spoon?

And can i use it for grapenuts? Or would it clog the inner workings?
Thanks for playing!
