Instrument modding
hey i know that people mod up cars and pc cases so i was wondering if you guys have any ideas on how to mod up an instrument to make it look cooler and more unique.
To the actual instrument itself, there is honestly nothing you can do, except for maybe putting some speed holes in it to make you play faster...just kidding...However, to the case, that is a different story. Like [UCI]-Mike said, slap a few stickers on it, put some speed holes in it, and you are ready to go.[UCI]-Mike wrote:Slap a sticker on it.....adds more tone.

People at my school put feathers on their instruments. I don't know why, but it's really funny cause if they march together the feathers all go the same way and it's cool. And then this year the guard has fringe and lots of it falls off, so some people tie it to their instruments and this one guy has a whole tassle thing going. I don't know if this is what you wanted but yeah. That's my 2 cents.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot about that horn. I guess someone was trying to mod it and it ended up how it is now. I heard they wanted to paint it blue or something.IsnipeWithAknife wrote:you can do that to the trumpet that had it's laquer PEELED off with steel wool. i will held you get the valves and slides unforzenHoshwa wrote:i wanna paint my trumpet checkered.
I have toe rings on the slide of my trombone and we had paper clips dangling form our baritones, but after they come off and you step on them and bleed, you tend to take them off. I'm gonna try and "modding" my mouthpiece and have a little skull on the top of it to match my ring. I dunno if it'll work, but it sure as hell would be cool!
