The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am busy having fun making gourd horns in Arizona. I've made several for cylinder machines and I'd like to make one or two for Victor rear mount machines but I need an elbow. I'm hoping for a donation of an aluminum reproduction of low or little value. Any size, Victor I, II, or III, would be fine. My plan is to cut the small end of a very big gourd and make the opening large enough for the elbow to pass through from the inside. I will then epoxy it in place. Only about a third of the elbow will show. Anybody have a Gourd-O-Horn donation?

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Jerry since they don't need to support much weight try having one made on a 3d printer
