Why didn't they use a REAL outside horn machine for their video? That's what I would've done!edisonplayer

It's obvious: because even the cheapest outside horn machine costs at least 10 times as much. There wouldn't be fake things like the crap-o-s or the "home edison" by Spirit of St. Louis if finding a cheap, good looking, well working horn gramophone/phonograph was an easy task. This is NOT a cheap hobby. Whoever says the opposite is just trying to fool his wife! ;)
