Steps: Dry a dipper gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) Jigsaw the "bell opening", cut off the end. Clean interior with scrapers, ream with drain augur, then sand. Copper gild the interior to improve resonance. Cut thumb and fingers holes similar to cornett/cornetto spacing. Decorate exterior (pyrography, hand-rubbed raw pigment, sealed with acrylic spray) Create mouthpiece adapter with Instamorph heat-formable plastic (Parduba double cup trombone/euphonium mouthpiece used here for extended range). Create clarinet mouthpiece adapter from Instamorph heat formable plastic + lathe-tuned wood (dark walnut used here).
