Basket weave on an open reed
« on: January 01, 2012, 10:25:13 PM »



First call that I finished in 2012.  African Blackwood open reed with an aluminum band, with a little basket weave carving around the barrel.  My own toneboard tuned higher pitched out of delrin. 







Thanks for looking!

Brian

Talent my friend.  Talent.


I quit keeping track since I don't want to know.  Probably around 4 hours or so.
