In the catalogue of 1903, there are other stand.And also paralegals brackets for the concert horn.I created a reproduction of such a bracket for my concert horn with the logo BURHARD

The old photos are great and the reproduction you have made of the bracket looks wonderful especially when compared with the Grand Opera photo shown previously on this thread. Such a strong Art Nouveau design. Did you have an original to copy or did you have to work from illustrations? I wonder if you made it in iron?

Thank You! I think the original bracket has not survived.And I never met Johnson's concert mouthpieces either.But it was a lot of mouthpieces, made in Russia.One of the producers of BURHARD, known for its needles, attached to his mouthpiece advertising stamp with the address of the store in St. Petersburg.I have such a mouthpiece, and 2 others, are more in museums.So I decided to make an exact copy of the bracket and the pipe itself, perhaps even with a pedestal.I have been working as a carpenter for 30 years and it is not a problem for me.I think that this kit will be on sale

That is master-level work! Where did you have it cast?

I personally did a 3d model in 3ds max, then it was milled on a CNC machine, then I took the model on silicone rubber, then wax model and cast professional foundry.

Absolutely amazing!

Impressive job.

The main problem with European Gramophone Stands is that they're so rare that they can be considered non existent. I could never see one with my own eyes.

Is there anyone producing replicas, perhaps?

In St. Petersburg there is a private Museum of gramophones.There you can see many different stands

About replicas and copies of any carpentry? Here I can help personally. All my life I have been producing exclusive orders from wood.Here are a couple of examples of my work. I live in Ukraine.Mail works fine. I think later I will create a personal topic
