I don't know. Edison and Columbia both offered special purpose recording horns well into the early 1900's.

Would they have been originally painted? Or were horns ever offered in a galvanized steel?Shawn wrote:I don't know. Edison and Columbia both offered special purpose recording horns well into the early 1900's.

Re: Interesting Recording ? Horn
For some odd reason painted recording horns lack clarity, that bare metal horns have. Though fiber horns have good clarity, especially if it is red, the same horn, made either of black fibre board, or poster bosard, sounds muddy. It may seem odd however that is my experience.

Re: Interesting Recording ? Horn
Ticticdok, just curious. Given the length and shape of that horn, does it work well for reproduction?
