Airchime "P-0L"

Post by Bradygoldminer »

.
Here's a recently finished horn project.

This is a custom "P-0L" horn I made. I welded and extended it to make the horn look cooler. This originally was an old cast P-1 that I bought for an exorbitant price, with a broken foot. I sawed off the bell flare, and welded an aluminum extender pipe to it that matched the same thickness for the best effect. I also mounted the horn to a former Melody prototype manifold that I scrapped due to it not working, which gives the horn more stability, so it hopefully won't break, other than all that, I think the horn looks pretty. any thoughts?

Here's some pictures,

I won't be attaching a sound clip, nor uploading it to the internet, please don't ask, sorry.
