Question about horns

Post by howardpgh »

What is the largest/longest horn that can safely be put on a cylinder machine using the machine mounted crane? The machine in question is a Columbia BG. It came complete with a nice little brass flower horn. I have a much bigger more impressive nickel horn that I would like to use!

A BG is a big heavy machine. It should take a large horn before it gets tippy. We all know the size of the horn depends how it is mounted. If your crane is mounted on the back side of the cabinet, you can mount a heavier horn than on the front of the cabinet. Jerry
