The "Squarpent"

What is a Squarpent? It is a wooden version of a Medieval brass instrument called a "Serpent" and here is the one Matt is making at present.

It is only rough at the moment and will look a million dollars once it has been sanded smooth, decorated and lacquered.

This is the mouthpiece which has been turned from Australian cedar. It is similar to a trombone mouthpiece.

This might be arguably the first Squarpent in Australia.
