Occassionally I turn junker saxophones or trumpets into guitar parts.

The things we do in the trade.. :)

Steve

1 Junker instruments hanging from roof (can be rebuilt)
2 Junker instruments that have had a part removed go into the parts drawers
3 Left over instruments no good for anything else
4 Chop them up and put them into a crucible
5 Smelt them
6 Pour an ingot for machining at a later date

Manufacturing ear horns would be worth a look at as a side business
