The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I recently bought a phonograph at auction which came with this 42" brass phonograph horn, the end of it has come off, broken away at the solder joint it seems, but I'm not sure what the original end would have looked like, the opening is ⅞", so it's too large to simply have a straight tubular section there, it should taper down more, but I can't quite visualise how it would have been done in order to make a new piece, does anyone have a similar horn and may be able to provide photographs?

Cheers

Similar bass horn end, the straight tube part seems to be rolled brass sheet not tube originally.
I think this the end has been modified/damaged in the past so it may need more than just adding a tube although there is solder on the inner edged which suggests there is not much missing but it has been stretched.
I have seen a number of horns ( often on eBay ) where new owners/inheritors don't know about the conventional rubber tube and jam the horn end over the reproducer tube.

Thanks, good thought about it being stretched, but I have hammered it back to round and the taper to the end is in line with the rest of the horn but still a large hole, I think I've decided to turn an adapter of sorts from brass on the lathe, should be fun

This horn would be a perfect candidate for a Max Wurcker reproducer. The sound would fill a concert hall.
