There hasn't been much activity on my blog this week as I'm not at home. It's does not mean I have been sitting around watching daytime tv all day twiddling my thumbs. I have been reading through this instruction manual john gave to me, which has roughly about 100pgs and I am trying to condense that into a more user friendly teaching handbook for school. Its a rather slow and laborious process but I should have some images up soon of the spreads.
As far as the instrument building goes I have been trying to source more instruments from around the country so that I have enough to go into school and create roughly about 10 instruments with the children. I have discussed in college about building my own instrument that shows off all the various parts of each instrument as a showpiece for the final exhibit. Since it is going to be a showpiece I have discussed finishing off the instrument to a much higher level than that would be achieved in school. Therefore I have been pricing silver plating and lacquering for a proper professional finish. So far the price has varied from £300-£1500, I had thought about trying to silver plate and lacquer myself but I do not have the equipment needed to do such a thing so I may have to fork out the money in the long run.
