Title: Mopane/Horn
Post by: MKW on January 24, 2012, 08:57:41 AM

I had a guy that wanted to see this combination. This trumpet is Mopane and Buffalo Horn with a patina-ed ferrule. Mopane has good color, but it usually has very little figure. This was a good piece.

Never heard of Mopane but I sure do like it.  Great color.  Like the trumpet also.

No offense to the other callmakers, but that is the best looking trumpet I've seen on this forum! I love the simple lines and the choice of material. Love it. I would hate to take it to the woods! Great job!

Thanks, Y'all! The Mopane is the best wood that I've turned trumpets out of. I don't mean the prettiest, I mean the best for sound, which is my main concern.
Thanks again.
