Re: Lucia Sextette through conch shell horn
John,
What's the story on this conch horn? Where did it come from? Was it commercially made as an actual aftermarket option? Are there others like it out there? I've seen a Shell-O-Phone before, but never an outside horn for a horn machine...
How about posting close up pics of the horn itself from the front and rear?

Re: Lucia Sextette through conch shell horn
Apparently Popular Mechanics in 1919 suggested using conch shells as phonograph horns...
