Hey guys, here is a Koa trumpet I have been working on, cool piece of wood for sure. Sounds excellent too.

Very nicely done.....as always!!! Hawaiian Koa is just special. Until you have played a koa trumpet yelper, you can't imagine the tonal qualities, but it's there.

Wow! That Koa is incredible!

Thanks...... I used Koa as a tonewood back in the days when I built acoustic guitars, so I should not have been so surprised it worked as well as it did on a trumpet. I would like to build a Koa trumpet for myself now. Unfortunately, figured Koa is quite expensive.

Looks so good!  Yours is still one of my favorite looking trumpet designs.
