A REAL French Horn

This one was manufactured in France to be used on automobiles. Brass repair is brass repair (I guess). It plays in the key of D#!
Now that is cool!

It belongs to a customer... along with a pair of carbide/acetylene headlamps he dropped of a few months back. I have one of the headlamps back together. I'll post a picture of them when they are finished.TubaRay wrote:How much do you want for it, Dan?The Jackson wrote:"For when your neighbors just don't hate you enough!"

The picture combined with my mindset makes this appear to be sousaphone-sized, which I'm sure it isn't. How tall/wide/etc is it?

Does it have some sort of vibrating body in that bubble looking thing? What produces the air stream?

That bubble looking thing is a form of accumulator/junction box. Air comes in the bottom from an air motor that is driven off the flywheel of an engine (or perhaps a carriage wheel) and exits at the top directly into a brass reed. Also, at the bottom-side of the sphere there is a pop-off valve to prevent the thing from getting over-pressurized. There is a lever to the air motor to engage it to the wheel when the driver wants to blow the horn. It's a low pressure setup... probably only a couple of pounds. I can blow into the inlet and make the horn sound.tbn.al wrote:Does it have some sort of vibrating body in that bubble looking thing? What produces the air stream?
