Has anyone here ever built a natural trumpet? I would like to build one, but do not know where to get the brass tubing. Plumbling supply stores usually only carry copper tubing. Any infor would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave |

Baroque trumpets are copper. At least my teacher's horn is.

Check out Ralph Jones' Brass Resources. There is a link to a workshop at IU from a few years back on how to build a natural trumpet. These guys did it right. Lots of pictures. Better have a torch.
