Title: Snakewood Trumpet
Post by: gergg on March 10, 2019, 03:45:13 PM
Almost finished with this Snakewood trumpet, thought I would share some pics since the sun finally came out here. This is my new model with the hollowed out bell(slightly different internals & overall length). Snakewood trumpets are a bear to turn, this wood makes you work & think very hard....lol

LOL....yeah, far away. This trumpet is headed to a new home next week, so no chance that it turns into a doggie biscuit. I replaced my Snakewood trumpet that was eaten by the dog with a very hard to find Camatillo Rosewood trumpet. It is not as "pretty" as the Snakewood, but it plays/sounds awesome, stuff was super hard/dense. I believe it is related to Kingwood, so right up there with ABW in density.

Thanks....it is always a relief to get into a blank and find good figure, especially Snakewood with all of the surprises it carries.

Very fine looking call. I would like to see that Camatillo Rosewood trumpet you made, I looked up the wood and it sounds very pretty.

Gregg's snakewood trumpets are the real deal, you can not go wrong with one.

Seriously appreciate that NCL....Snakewood is so beautiful and makes a great sounding trumpet to my ears.... but it is a handful to turn, stuff has a mind of its own.
