I refuse to follow that on the grounds of good taste... er...

What did you play? The Lion Sleeps Tonight? # Whim-away, a-whim-away...

@Dad3353, if I owned a whim I wouldn't have a clue which end I should blow through either. I am not at all surprised you exchanged it for the curly cornet.

It certainly isn't offensive on the eye either. The decision to balance out the cut above centreline was good.

Cool.

I wondered. Are you going to seal them in with something to prevent abrasion with the strings? It's no disappointment though. I'm interested to see how it works out.

You'd think it was easy to scale up the exact same pattern for any of the violin family until you look into the reality of it. It's astonishing how physics appears to behave differently with the larger changes in scale. I'm liking the build so far.

I'd tell you not to whittle and have a bit more self confidence if it wasn't at odds with what you are undertaking. Heeheehee. I can feel your anticipation. With your cautious approach you'll be fine.

Is that a mock-up photo? I'm impressed if you are going to tackle block inlays. That's got to be demanding on skills.

Welcome Produkt.

"I need to introduce a duck..." That's a quote to remember. That's also a very respectable looking instrument.

Welcome Timofnc3.

I love Uilleann pipes too. They have the good qualities of pipes without the drones so much. Moving Hearts turned me onto them big time. I realise that I have been mentioning more things that I like than that I dislike so far. I find the drones on bagpipes tiresome.

There's a whole lot of brass that gets overlooked. It's a shame. I love a sousaphone myself. Interestingly, there was something played on 6music a few weeks back that featured a bassoon solo. It blew me away but I neglected to note who it was. There is hope for contemporary music after all. I agree with a previous comment about synth brass not quite cutting it.

Welcome Saxondale.

Hahahahaha! That reminds me of an old magazine series called Roadbike from the seventies. I collected the series for the reviews and workshop tutorials. One of the main criteria for the touring 'bikes was that there was room to pack some sandwiches under the saddle.

The Eagles, Journey of the Sorcerer reworked. That haunted me for a long time.

That's beautiful Andy. I wish Mike much joy with that.

Welcome Mike.

Welcome Darren.

Yes. Derbyshire is well represented here.

Welcome Othy.

Welcome Nobby.

Welcome ZenX.

It's 11 O'Clock man and not a child in the house washed! Heeheehee. Festive greetings my friend. You'll be glad to hear that I've not added to the overall click count.
