The piece announcing that "'Music Master' Horns Now Ready" mentions that "For phonographs now equipped with Cygnet Horns it will be necessary to obtain a new Swivel Rod, Suspension Spring, Adjusting Screw and Horn Connection." What piece is the "Horn Connection" referred to? Is this something other than the usual rubber tube?

Clay,
My setup looks like the picture posted by flashpanblue. My crane came from Ron Sitko and as you know I have the same horn made by Eduardo.

Clay,
If you talked with Sitko and gave him the information, he will send the correct crane. He has saved my butt several times.

Re: Music Master Cygnet Horn Crane question
I'm wondering the same thing: Do I have the wrong crane for this setup?

Re: Music Master Cygnet Horn Crane question
Your lower rod appears to be the one meant for Standards/Homes/Firesides. The Triumph lower rod is a bit taller. Ron Sitko has them.

Re: Music Master Cygnet Horn Crane question
By the way, it looks like I never followed up to let everyone know that the crane from Ron S. was perfect and solved my problem.
