Thank you all for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
While I do like the look of the cygnet horn, and have heard how good they sound, I am leaning towards a straight horn. Will these improve fidelity at all or just amplify sound?

I’m looking into a 32” paper mache horn at present that I can buy locally. It’s different and I would imagine that it would give a more mellow sound.

Generally, the longer the horn, the better the bass response. I have a 30" "Mega" fiber horn on my Triumph, and it gives pretty good results.
