With all due respect, what do you base your claim upon?

Cheers,

Nonsense.

As I said previously, I’ve had a number of these horns. I’ve never had one shatter, nor have my customers who subsequently purchased them with a gramophone.

Stephen, keep up the good work!

I've had one of Paul Baker's glass horns for close to 40 years-- I've played at least a hundred cylinders through that machine-- No issues-- nor will there be. I've seen many of Stephen's horns. They are beautiful and well-made.

I have had mine for a number of years - no problems - well made.

Haven't lost one yet.....steve

I've really enjoyed owning a couple of Stephen's horns. Like Vogue picture records they add color to a collection. It was also an opportunity to involve DeeDee as she picked out the colors.

It may shatter the glass if you try to listen to a recording of a female opera singer.

It will if the female opera singer is on Memorex tape!
