Initial Ideas

I have a number of ideas about what way to go with these instruments but I think the most useful step to take is to consider changing certain parts like adding another bell or changing the valves to a slide affect the overall sound of the instrument. I will take some time over the next few days to draw up some diagrams of exactly what I plan to construct out of the old instruments I have already acquired.

I think there was a general worry that this project may resemble the current ford focus advert where they have constructed string instruments from the car. I agree there are some similarities to this advert in that I plan to construct instruments but here is how they differ: In this ford advert they have taken apart the car not to make new instruments but to make replicas of well known instruments such as the harp, flute,drums and the cello. I plan to make instruments that do not look like replicas of their originals. The instruments are new and experimental, made from redundant brass instruments and will be constructed to not look like their originals.
