Thanks for all the positive comments. Your right I think this one is a keeper.
Here is the mold that I built to hold the parts in place as I glued them together.
I measured the inside of the horn (before pulling it apart) at three levels and cut plywood to fit those radius. I then cut slots to allow the slats to move up and down along three threaded bars to fit the horn. I also cut a cap to hold down the horn.
Finally I used the ropes tightened like tourniquets around the outside holding the pieces in place while the glue dried.
