This might seem like the craziest thing anyperson would want to do in the world, but i want to make my own bass clarinet for my senior project at school...(cowers in fear as people scream). For some reason i have this idea stuck in my head that it is a very likely possibility to do something like this. I have access to round stock brass ( well i hope so, i am pretty sure i can get some from a friend), and for the most part any material that i would need ( least i think i would need, such as copper tubing, steel round stock and such...). I know it will be a lot of work, but i have a year or so to do this, and i would like to get started as soon as possible. I have access to a CNC machine and other various metal working tools. I was hoping if anyone had advice to help me along ( or discourage me) the way. I will be working off of a a selmer privilege model bass clarinet as to post layout, and such. I will be trying to get key work to model as needed from a local instrument store, wherever i can get it, or just make something up. I want to have a nice peice and i think with the proper advice this is a possiblity to make this happen, i just need advice as to if it's possible, where to start, what all would be needed, and a diagram as to tone hole placement, lengths, and all the fun specs i would need ( i don't actually have a selmer privilege, so i don't have one ready to work off of, i thought possibly someone would know where to get information like that). Any information is gladly accepted and appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read all that
