Re: Sand Cast K5LA Project Horn
Oh I should also add that the two SC K bells both had regular Airchime back caps, not made in Canada caps. I just think its weird that a sand cast 4 bell would have bore depth like a 4A. Maybe it was machined at a later time? Some have suggested maybe it was some marine type horn. Many questions for...

Sand Cast K5LA Project Horn
Here is a recording of my Sand Cast K5LA. This horn originally started as a partially sand cast K5H that I had bought from Eric Miller. The horn had sand cast bells 1, 2, 3, 5 and a die cast 4 bell. I wanted to try to find a sand cast 4 bell to make the K5H 100% sand cast. I stumbled across a 2 chim...

Re: Horn Rig Show and Tell
Did you custom fabricate the mounting solution for horns? I have a RenardRiser™ but was wondering about the metal riser below that. The metal riser is actually a hornblasters mounting bracket. I had bought the bracket at a time when I was using a Leslie riser that had the air inlet in the bottom of...

Re: Horn Rig Show and Tell
This video will give you a good idea. Nice decent run, however, in cab I can start to sense air loss by the end of the run. I’m pretty satisfied with that result.
