**Captive Ring** African Blackwood Trumpet

[merocustomcalls]

Here's a new trumpet I came up with today.  After watching "Woodturning Workshop with Tim Yoder" on PBS yesterday I got an idea for a new trumpet.  Tim was making a "Captive Ring Goblet" where he turned a goblet that had a captive ring turned within the stem.  I decided to give it a shot and after a few hours of work in the shop here it is.  The barrel is made from African Blackwood and has an ivory mouthpiece.  It took quite a bit longer than my usual design but it was worth it.  Sometimes it's just fun to make something totally different.
