Well being stuck at home and seeing a traffic cone gave me this idea. It’s not quite finished yet, but I thought I would share.
This horn has actually taken longer than the paper Searchlight horns I have made, and it doesn’t sound as good. I think once I finish putting paper on it and paint it, it may sound better Anyways thoughts?
To me it looks ridiculous on my standard

Re: the traffic cone horn
It is an interesting way to create a horn.

Just the thing for playing songs like "In my Merry Oldsmobile," "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along," "He'd Have to Get Out and Get Under," "Henry's Made a Lady out of Lizzie," ....

It's hard to tell from the picture but how long is it?

Re: the traffic cone horn
I’ll get back to you on the length later tonight. It’s pretty long tho
I’d like to try my hand at making some molds. Where can I find the dimensions for a cygnet horn?

Re: the traffic cone horn
Looks more like the shape of a recording horn than a playing horn. You can get something similar at Wal-Mart, a plastic funnel for transmission fluid, for $2 or $3.
