I can understand why you kept it though, because the etching on it is exquisite and would be hard to toss out. Now, if you could reverse it and use the bell as a gun-stock, I'd totally buy into that. That said, the valves look great as a "ray-gun" and the way you integrated the springs and piping is great. Nice work!

To truly "see" the raygun, one must see the Gideon in action. @jj – The fact that you see nothing more than an (as yet unidentified) musical instrument is entirely understandable.

I'm not seeing a ray gun, just a malformed Victor cornet. hmm, maybe its because i played trumpet for so long, but this looks just like a cornet (this is definitely not a trumpet) with the lead-pipe soldered to the horn and some weird doodads attached.

Albiet, a strange looking one. This piece does not transcend it's original form which is...... a simple trumpet. It’s still a trumpet! Albiet, a strange looking one.
