If they can make these...

Post by Curt A »

If they can make these... why not put the effort into making authentic reproduction horns, not just replacement Crap-O horns? Cygnet horns and elbows along with other types used to be available as repros, but not for this kind of price - $65 plus free shipping... and these look like good quality.

Having owned one, unfortunately I can vouch for the fact that they certainly are not good quality. The metal is just too thin, it's almost like foil.

Not quite up to the scale of the Columbia horn it vaguely resembles. It's not clear if it's nickel plated or just polished steel.
