Leak Light for Woodwind repair made in class.


Making a Trumpet Mouth Pipe

After the 'brass tube to be mouth pipe' has been annealed (heated to make brass tube pliable) and the proper steel mandrel has been chosen, the steel mandrel is lubed with Murphy's Oil soap.

The steel mandrel is inserted into the brass tube.

Now that the 'brass tube to be mouth pipe' has the steel mandrel inserted into it, it's time to lube the outside of the brass tube with more a coating of Murphy's Oil Soap.


Ready for tube drawing on the Draw Bench.

Now using the Draw Bench and a steel cylinder, we separate the tube from the steel mandrel.
