Mouthpiece Work / Blank available
FROM: jgoeckermann (Jim Goeckermann)
SUBJECT: Blank available
If someone needs one of the recent blanks from this list, I am willing to part with mine at the cost plus shipping. I bought an old Zephyr bari that had suffered all the abuse a grade school can provide, and I am thoroughly enjoying making it look like a sax.... and play like a fog horn on steroids! Though a little dimpled, I have a bell again! Needless to say, the forseeable hobby time will be consumed by this project, and I am willing to pass on the blank. Email me offlist - jim at sisqtel.net - if you are interested. Bt the way, if you are not familiar with the Rico Graftonite MPs, they are a lot of MP for under $20. Interesting design, the casting is done such that only the raised rails need to be ground, and they offer a choice of three grinds per chamber. This piece and the first 5 playable notes on the Conn Zephyr absolutely HOOKED me - there is a big ol' FAT sound waiting to be liberated in the horn.
