I was in the shop last night turning this Cocobolo trumpet. A piece of "scrap" that turned out to hide some lovely grain. This is just bare wood, no finish yet, man Cocobolo is a beautiful wood. Always open to comments, so fire away.

Messing with a few new lip stop sizes, I think I like this one.

That is a beauty!!
Very nice
Thanks gents, I have the sister blank from this Cocobolo scrap piece that will be used when everything is set just right.
Greg, other than the lip stop, I think it's perfect. Awesome, awesome looking trumpet buddy!
Very nice.
Very pretty.

Thanks for commenting Chris.....I tried to cut the stopper, but it is best I get another size or get some material that is carve-able.

Thanks for all of the comments guys.
Beautiful figure in this piece of wood, very nice looking trumpet
I favor the more traditional style, but I think this is a great looking design, nicely done
everybody's eye is different, to my eye I think the lines would flow a little better if the wood was turned to a little smaller diameter where it connects to the brass ferrel. and a little shorter lipstop.
you have come up with a very sharp looking design as it is, very nice.
the two little tweaks I mentioned are only my opinion
I liked the sound file, to my ear (from that recording) I hear a nice mellow adult hen, sounds really good

I agree, I see the same things as you, working on "fixing" both of them. Thanks for the input.
Very nice

Thank you sir.....I have eye-balled your wingbones, great work yourself!
Beautiful trumpet.
Messing with a few new lip stop sizes, I think this one sits well with me for now.

I like that one.
Nice lipstop shape, that blends very well with the rest of the trumpet.
And the grain in that coco gets prettier every time I look at it.
