i think this might be one of the biggest horns in the world!, the only bigger one i can think of is the nimbus mk3 horn but that sounds terrible with a echo but this sounds great, i might even say it is better than a emg
@formiggini Yes, it's true! But near the soundbox we can hear only high-frequence noise and a little bit good sound. The horn is a "natural" noise-reduction.
How does this work? I'm trying to build a gramophone that will play vinyl without damaging it.

@TheHexeract Oh - Vinyl with a grammophone.... ;)
1. You need a light late 1940´s or 50´s grammophone soundbox.
2. Forget Steel needles - even soft one!
3. You Bamboo or thorn needles
4. Look for recording lathe motor - some can also play with 33rpm
5. Built a big horn - vinyl played on a grammophone isn´t loud.
6. GOOD LUCK ;)
Looking forward to your attempt´s....

Any idea on how loud this setup will go in terms of dB SPL at 1 m or so? Without any kind of reference, this is very hard to judge from the video.

@yeoldeengineer In db I really dont know - and haven´t the technique to measure it.
But it is loud... !

@VictrolaJazz No way - you know, the € is going to collaps - but maybe with a horn of gold.... ;)
Seriously - this was a fun project. It took a lot of work - but this was also part of the fun.
How to ship such a beast... ?

i really really like this version of st louis blues, have you any idea if it is rare or not?
kirtley2010 5 months ago
@kirtley2010 It´s a german Telefunken record, Teddy Stauffer had been very populär in the 30´s here, so you may find his records often.
The St. Louis Blues disc isn´t that uncommon - at least here in germany ;)

Powerful and clear sound!
I think you can use only one mic before horn
Alex11111Ufa1 5 months ago
@Alex11111Ufa1 With only one mic in front of the horn, some of the trebles are lost.
The horn has a range up to 5000Hz, with the second mic the sound is recorded to c. 5.700Hz.
