I turned my attention away from oboe finishing to the far more rewarding task of making Vuvuzelas in an attempt to destroy the 2010 world cup for the spectators and viewers at home. Seems to be having the desired effect!
I wonder how much a Howarth XL Vuvuzela will cost (in grenadilla, kingwood or cocobolo)? Easy enough to make as there aren't any toneholes - just the undrilled joints, reed socket and socket rings. The only finishing to do is fit the socket rings and tenon corks!
I wonder how differently a Howarth XL Vuvuzela plays in comparison to a Marigaux, Loree, Rigoutat, Fossati, Buffet, Puechner, Yamaha, Fox, Dupin, etc. one?
