I prefer the lamps. To me, these look too much like roadkill, or the result of "enhanced interrogation."

It may be modern art come to clarinets but I say, YUK. Give me a nice respectable lamp anytime. That shows more respect for our beautiful instrument because at least then it "lights up your life". ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com

Has this metal clarinet had a close encounter with Toon World ? I kinda like it, it gives the impression that it's got a life of it's own.

Actually, its title is "Clown Clarinettistry," So yeah, it's "toonish."

I've often wondered what a metal clarinet would look like powder coated. They have so many different colors these days. The keys could be a different color than the body. Maybe I'll have to try it one of these days.

I had a similar gut reaction to Dave. I was eating when I opened the image and I nearly hurled !!!!
The lamp is not irrevocable. This is...... is......... ugh

I second your YUK with a BARF. As a retired stained glass designer-builder, I try to appreciate artists' work, but that ... thing is not to my taste. I might've put the BARF in lower-case letters if I knew for sure the poor clarinet had met with some accident that had damaged it beyond repair before the artist mutilated it.

I just saw this thread now and just clicked on the link- as soon as I saw the picture I said something.
However, I am sad to say that Mark and Glen would probably be upset if I wrote it here. ![[hot]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/hot.gif)

It appears, bmgcar, that you are officially an unappreciated artist. Is it time now for the inevitable steps of depression, resolve, and accomplishment?
Just try to imagine how Rachmaninoff felt!

A great, fun use for a time expired clarinet. Now if you'd only put a light fitting on the top.......

Very cool Bruce. I have a weathered sax (was a parts horn) outside the entrance to my music studio. I love the patina of an aged horn and hope this Buescher sax will age in an artistic manner. My next acquisition might be a smashed trumpet, that'd be interesting too. :O)

James, yes, unappreciated. But I'd be depressed if most people liked it!
Ian, my next one will have a light strip inside.
Jim, a smashed trumpet is the kind of thing that clarinetists dream of. Go for it.

I think the interior light strip is a great idea!

My first thought was that it looked like a clarinet that had been scared out if its wits! Doesn't really jive with the "Humane treatment..." line!
But very clever. Thanks for the pictures.

I am guilty of trying to restore old metal clarinets and not being able to keep all of the parts together long enough to make a lamp, except one that just looks and lights great.
I'm casting my vote for the "art" look. There are far worse fates for an unwanted clarinet.
Does anyone object to my turning my unused Bundy alto into a lamp?

''Anyone care to try repadding this?''
Why yes, of course, and it would be a fairly simple job I suspect, given the position of the keys.
