The Serpent - another instrument
















This is Matt's latest project. An actual "Serpent" version of the medieval "Serpent" wind instrument. He has made it from wood strips laminated together to form a tube then wrapped it in cloth and covered it with resin to harden it.

He has given it an initial coat of paint and has started to draw scales on the green part of the body. The snake's head and fangs were cut from some pine and glued on afterwards. Of course it is not finished yet but it is looking pretty scary at the moment.
