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 had bought the bracket at a time when I was using a Leslie riser that had the air inlet in the bottom of...

Horn Rig Show and Tell
