S2 week 9+10


 This is the mellophone I've been working on a bit. It has some dents that I want to take out. This is a graded project, but I talked to Greg and instead of him putting dents in a horn and letting me take them out, I got to use the mellophone that already had some dents in for practice.

Time to use that scary tool. Yes, the big rod with a ball on the end. Scary.

That looks pretty nice though. It's a bit bumpy still, but I got out the dents.

Trying to fix my project french horn. I need to change the bumper material (the black rubber, brown cork and the orange rubber in the picture) because they don't match.

We got to see the power of the magnetic dentballs. The school made a holder for the magnet itself and we put a big ball into the instrument that Sam is wearing in the picture. Jeremiah helped him out.

This is from the field trip we took to the Getzen factory. I'm afraid I took lots of pictures, but they look bad and don't show much, so I'm only posting this one. It's a proof that you can't build a trumpet if the only thing you know is how to solder.
