Sharp as always Greg! Love the character that bit of sapwood gives the Mopane. Desert ironwood looking good as always and that delrin will be a killer!

Quote from: Greg Massey on January 10, 2024, 12:56:55 PMThanks Greg....Delrin does carry a different sound/timbre than wood trumpets, they are peppy and I like them a lot!

Also of note, something a little different for me, I darkened the brass ferrules on these 4 instead of bright polished brass.

Quote from: Zobo on January 12, 2024, 06:19:06 PMGood eye.....They are not that different, but do flare a tad more. I have to be super careful when trying to make these bells, as one little slip means scrap wood. I like the feel of these bells when playing, seems like the extra little lip helps playability.
