Hello,
New to the board here from Brooklyn. I recently renewed an interest in the hobby after a good number of down years when I stumbled across a Edison Standard, then a Victor V...and now im hooked again...
I am interested in horn machines, especially European disc machines (of which I own none). I am currently fixing up my Victor V. So close to finished...just need the horn. erg.
Hello. Im New.

Re: Hello. Im New.
I would consider any horn that fits properly. Wood would be the best...

Re: Hello. Im New.
Finding an original wood horn in good condition may be difficult. Most of the good ones are already mated to a machine. Have you considered a repro? Don Gfell makes some nice ones. I have one of his oak speartip horns on one of my Victor V's, and it looks nice. They aren't cheap, however ...USlakeside wrote:I would consider any horn that fits properly. Wood would be the best...

Don Gfell’s work that I have seen has been amazing—hopefully some of the members that own horns created by him could post those again.richardh wrote:...and thanks to AZ* for re-posting Don Gfell’s details...I know they were on the "old" "new" board but I didn't save the link before the site dissapeared.

I don't own one of Don Gfell's horns yet, but here's a view of some of his fantastic work!

Re: Hello. Im New.
This is a repost of one of Don Gfell's oak Music Master horns. It's absolutely flawless, right down to the decal, which has NO transfer lines evident AT ALL. The white marks are my flaw, due to cleaning the brass connector. I also realize I don't have the horn connected to the crane properly; I converted to a horizontal carriage and haven't obtained a larger crane yet.
