My advice would be this, go to brass tech school and by a 17$ plumbers torch. Start small with converting single f horns into hand horns then as you improve do more things to tweak doubles singles descants etc. This will give you a start and it is a pretty damn fun hobby. You would be best to go across the pond to learn the ART of horn building- here in america I feel it is LESS than an artform because most makers have the almighty dollar in mind. Understandably their families have to eat but they really don't leave much opportunity for us to hussle our way into the horn world, > > Hoss the hornplayer > _______________________________________________ > post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/jdelarosa%40ameritech.net _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
