Re: Oak Cygnet horn
Hi Gordon,
Depending on condition I feel the value of an Oak cygnet horn complete with elbow would be worth between $1200 and $1600. If both horn and elbow still have their original finishes and are in fine condition then they would bring the higher value.

Re: Oak Cygnet horn
I've thought about getting an oak Cygnet horn for my Triumph E,but I've heard they did a comparison between the metal and the wooden horns.Both machines were behind a screen,and the people couldn't tell the difference.What is your take on this?edisonplayer

Hi Edisonplayer
I have only heard wooden horns on the internet through my laptop speakers, so I can't give an opinion on the difference in sound, but you would assume the wooden horn to be a more mellow sound and the metal horn to be more sharper.
I would love to hear them both side by side.
If I can find a metal cygnet that's in good condition and a resonable price that will have to do, I just prefer the look of the wooden ones, but I didn't know they where that sort of money.
