Building a chromatic for myself.
What I've done so far:
1) Seydel 1847 reeds were placed farther to cover the whole slot.
2) Fixed using Suzuki reed screws.
3) Individual reed selection.
4) Perfect aligning & centering.
5) Reed polishing.
6) Tuned to TrueChromatic LC
7) Intonated to 440hz ET.
What's left to do:
1) Emboss all slots
2) Gaping and arcing
3) Valving using a hybrid system of PT gazelle in the bottom octave and saxony valves at the top
4) Wait for matt chrom TrueChromatic coverplates to be stamped and arrive.

I think Kingo and Florida have summed up all that needs to be said- wow, very nice work. Another thing I wish I had... I can't wait to hear you play it! Please post a vid when you finish that monster....
Yeap. They summed it up pretty well. :)

Hey Jim what are those little indentations or marks at the end of each reed? More so the lower reeds.
Nice work by the way.

@Oisin:
Those are the retuning marks. I prefer to polish the rivet heel, and tune up. That way I don't make the reed weaker.
