I have been looking for over a year for the perfect nylon to use as my drops on my lanyards. I finally found the material I was looking for about a week ago, but could only get it in white...so Ive been experimenting trying to dye it. I had one color come out a cross between and olive drab/ gold color. It matched pretty good with the white/greenish gold in my black and white ebony Buice, so i made it a lanyard. Black leather and the dyed nylon.

I like that lanyard
-
Nice one Del, I think you got the color match perfect.
-
I could probably never replicate it again. Lets just say nylon doesnt take RIT dye like cotton. That was supposed to be straight black but it came out like that. I think there may have been some brown dye left stuck to the sides of the pot I was using.
-
That looks great!

Sweet as always del *bowing*

I actually hand picked that one on a trip to Billy's shop, October of last year. I was drawn to it right away on looks, and pulled it aside with about 10 others that i liked. I ran em and ran em, and that one just had something special so she took a ride. It is awesome with a number 4.
Here is another view

It is a looker for sure. Is the mouth piece removable?
-
Yes. All of Billy's calls have removable mouth pieces so you can change different size holes. He has push in and screw in style. This one is a screw in style.
He makes many different mouth piece materials. Wood, delrin, ivory, buff horn, micarta, corian, etc. He uses delrin as his standard. He says it doesnt swell and affect the sound like bone, ivory or wood. His personal favorite on his caller is micarta.
-
Thanks for the info. I like the ideas of changeable mouth pieces.
-
What number of mouth piece do you like the best?
-
It depends on the call. I own 10 of his trumpets. I have #3 in 7 of them and #4 in the other 3.
Id say #3 is my favorite, followed by 4.

thanks

NIce one Del. It really matches well with the ebony !!
