I play trumpet as well as build them with my family in Canby. I find a great joy in playing on the instrument I built myself. It adds another dimension to "making music." It lets me feel I do more than simply provide air to the instrument, I craft it from start to finish. The beauty is there is no finish... as long as I keep making music on the horn it is never finished!
