As a very recently un-lapsed member of lfgss I thought I'd introduce myself and my craft - silversmithing.
I'm Thomas and I make parts for the double reed family of musical instruments. Specifically metal work for ergonomics of the instruments (new keys etc) and the crooks (for those not dialled in these are the first tubular section of the instrument and have a large impact on the sound).
My focus is on the Bassoon family and I specialise in using sterling silver and more esoteric plating on brass - the three contrabassoon crooks in the photo are all brass alloys, (L-R) plated with black nickel, red gold and unplated yellow brass.
My studio/workshop is in New Cross Gate.
