have you ever seen a collapsible horn?

I have never seen one of these... anyone know about them?

Seems very practical... wonder how it sounds.

I've seen a few in the books and a couple for sale before, although the condition of this one seems better than normal. I think they tend to be on the fragile side, so when they show up, they also lean toward the costly.

That's a Munson collapsible horn.

I've seen them in pictures. Often the cloth stiffens with age and can shrink a bit so the horn won't fully open. I agree, this one looks good and so does the cabinet- though pricey.
