Australian Blackwood Trumpet

[gergg]

I built this Aussie Blackwood trumpet today, lovely figure in this billet. It is a cousin to the Koa tree, but this billet I have is about as dense as this species gets and sounds more rosewood-like than Koa to my ears. Beautiful piece of wood and she is a runner too. I bought this lumber directly from a logger in Australia many years ago to be used in guitars, but now it will provide enough blanks to build 48 trumpets

Thanks to all..... I did make a quick recording of the Aussie Blackwood to see if the recorded sound matched what I was hearing, yep, I liked it. I had my dog with me so he was part of the sound file as was a text that came through while recording....comedy of errors, lol......but I will try to post it anyway at a later date.

I have to admit, that is not what I expected to see when I saw blackwood in the title. Very attractive piece.

I received this trumpet from Greg a couple of days ago. I have been running it quite a bit since then. Not only is it a great looking horn, the sound and craftsmanship are excellent. Thanks Greg.

Glad you like it Les, hope you have some luck with it this Spring, please post some pics if you do.

Take care....Greg
