Hi Listmates.this is great footage.lots of info on how many talented techs
it took to make our trumpets, sax'es, clarinets, etc!

 

This is precisely why some of the older horns are so sought after.
Workmanship, materials and unbelievable skilled craftsman. Something i do
not believe any machine today can duplicate.
 These instruments are works of art and that's how they played ! 

 

Dear Colleagues,

You will be quite amazed at what went into making brass and wood instruments
