Hello.
A friend of mine recently made his own Herald Trumpet. I think it would be pretty cool to build a Bugle pitched like a Baritone Horn, or Trombone.
I'd like it to be around 5 or 6 feet long.
Does anyone know how long the total length needs to be? What diameter tubing to use? How many times I should loop the tubing? How to Bend curves in brass tubing? And finally what type of solder to use?
I have included a sketch of what I would like it to look like. (If the Picture doesn't come up, here is the link: http://www.cedarcountyia.com/images/host/Herald Baritone.jpg )
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Dan
