Lip Stop Examples Added - Trumpet Build #5 - Cocobolo

[gergg]

I was in the shop last night turning this Cocobolo trumpet. A piece of "scrap" that turned out to hide some lovely grain. This is just bare wood, no finish yet, man Cocobolo is a beautiful wood. Always open to comments, so fire away.



Messing with a few new lip stop sizes, I think I like this one.

Thanks gents, I have the sister blank from this Cocobolo scrap piece that will be used when everything is set just right.

Greg, other than the lip stop, I think it's perfect. Awesome, awesome looking trumpet buddy!

Thanks for commenting Chris.....I tried to cut the stopper, but it is best I get another size or get some material that is carve-able.

Beautiful figure in this piece of wood, very nice looking trumpet
I favor the more traditional style, but I think this is a great looking design, nicely done

everybody's eye is different, to my eye I think the lines would flow a little better if the wood was turned to a little smaller diameter where it connects to the brass ferrel. and a little shorter lipstop.

you have come up with a very sharp looking design as it is, very nice.
the two little tweaks I mentioned are only my opinion

I liked the sound file, to my ear (from that recording) I hear a nice mellow adult hen, sounds really good

I agree, I see the same things as you, working on "fixing" both of them. Thanks for the input.
