Jim Schmidt's new web address

[jim schmidt]

I've changed servers and my web site addresses have changed. Go to:

jim@jsengineering.net

and you will see a list of my websites.

Presently I am making another Contralto. I have some ideas on how to make these horns a little more practicle to build with the intention of getting them closer to the public.

I also have some sound clips of my band "CLOUD 99" at:

http://www.myspace.com/cloud99jimschmidt

you can hear the Contralto there.

The gold pads now have powder embeded directly into the skin instead of just having a metal layer on the top. This means that the construction of the skin is continuous and very reliable.

So enjoy the websites and myspace - if you're in my area - come check out "CLOUD 99". Dates are in the myspace website.

thanks
Jim Schmidt

Hi Jim,

Nice to "see" you here.

I first learned of your work maybe 8 years ago or so--it was just before I moved from Maine to California, and I'd stumbled across your website by happenstance. Pretty stunning stuff. If R. Buckminster Fuller had turned his attention to the realization of the Dymaxion Saxophone, I reckon that it'd bear a resemblance to yours.

Best,

Dave

Can a geodesic dome have a parabolic bore?

i think the inner curvature (and it's not a smooth curve, since the surface is constructed from 2-dimentional panels) is semi-spherical.

i actually used to live, briefly, in a geodesic dome. and i am a hyperbolic bore.

coincidence? you decide.

Jim,

You mention clicking on the first link to gain access to your websites. That is of course an email address, not a direct link to a site.

BTW,

I gave you a fitting user title, hope it suits your fancy.

Cheers.
