Horn Repair.

Post by ticticdok »

Isn't there a member on here that does horn repair? I have a 16" brass Zonophone that needs repair. Thanks!

The brass for Zonophone horns was thin compared with other horns. Cracks can be repaired, but they need to be soldered. The solder lines in the cracks will always be visible.

I wish you luck! Tough position to be in!

I'd call Jesus' Dad instead, I heard in the beginning he had one heck of a garden.

He's done a couple of horns for me and they came out fantastic!
