Hello everyone, I’m new to this site and I came across this topic. I just built my first one of these PVC horns. I got the plans off ebay. They’re pretty simple to make but you still need to tune them in. Here’s a quick video of my A# horn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNr2B5aYjRs

Welcome ITWORKS. That’s a good start. I wonder how long it will take before you want to upgrade to Airchimes.

thanks for the Welcoming.
I have 2 Omega 3 packs now at 135 psi.

Here’s a video of them on my Titan.

They’re pretty loud but eventually I’m getting some Airchimes. The PVC thing is just out of curiousity. Once you build one you keep tweeking it until it’s the loudest. Then you push it some more…etc.

Welcome trueaho! I suggest trying a Google search for “pvc horns”.

I built a PVC horn modeled after a Grover 1054, the low-tone horn used on the Disney monorails. However, instead of using a 2 inch diaphragm going down to a 1 inch bell (which opens up to 2 inches at the flare) I made a 4 inch diaphragm doing to a 2 inch bell. It blows at 116 hz, the same as the Doran Cunningham 6B or the Grover 1054. Once I get a new camera I will post a nice video for you.
