Now you might ask, "Why does that Snyder kid have a picture of a cow horn up there? What a nerd." Well look again dear reader, and notice the small square and little round holes. It has risen above a lowly and simple dead animal clipping, to a new level of existance, the gemshorn. ("What a Royal nerd.") I spent yesterday evening and this morning fitting a wooden block in the horn, and chiseling out the fipple and finger holes. (Fipple and Finger, holy crap that would be a great name for a pub) (Erm, maybe a pub on the OTHER side of town...)Anyhoo, sounds great even though I've tuned it by ear. Takes a few minutes to fill with nice warm human air, but then the sound is almost haunting. If I ever get my hands on an electronic tuner it could certainly use some more tweaking, but for now it'll move to the top of the rotating whistle pile.
