This is a great idea, and could be used to manufacture a lot of horns in a certain part of the world where a lot of manufactured horns come from. There is something to be said about tubing that is bent by hand, and then you have the problem of assembling the tubes so that they not only fit together, but are soldered well together. Plus, the bell, and the valves, are very tricky to get just right I think.
Still, I'm all for progress, and assuming you can get the design of the horn in the computer somehow this could speed up the process. The equipment probably costs as much as a new Mercedes, though. -William -----Original Message----- From: rrgriffin <[email protected]> To: horn <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Jul 15, 2011 1:56 pm Subject: [Hornlist] Is this the future?
