For anyone still watching this video here is the parts list I came up with after researching their videos and making my own set. I grabbed everything from Home Depot, Lowe's has the same supply. Diaphragms poly carbonate or stainless steel Rubberized weatherstripping 1 1/2 x 3 base $3.35 1 1/2 cleanout adapter $1.50 1 1/2 male $1.08 1 x 1 1/2 adapter $1.44 1" coupler $0.62 2ft of 1" pipe $2.26 2ft of 3" pipe $6.76 Funnel Pvc primer and glue 5/16 Bolts .17 per 3/8 Fittings for air
I think you did a great job explaining the project. Maybe some commenters just don't understand things so quickly. I'm not one of those people! I believe it was nice tempo for a video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share and educate!
Really great job, I'm trying to build a bass diaphragm assembly for a 20-ft horn, yes a 20-ft horn, currently I play it with a baritone saxophone mouthpiece. It's going to take some trial and error and practice but hopefully I can get it right.
How about a recient remake and include a parts list, measurements etc. I would be willing to even purchase it from you as I am sure many others also would.
Is there a length that you use to cut each horn? I see the list in the video, but wasn’t sure if those measurements were from each end of the funnel. I would appreciate a measurement from each end of the funnel to get a tight fit over my 3/4” pipe and a measurement to cut the funnel to get the length for each bell end. Thanks! Great video! I’ve made a “C” horn and it works great.
Great Video but your going so fast just to get thru it I guess that we can't see what your showing us. Could you edit this video's description or make a video and tell us what each piece you used is called (Description & Size) please. Thanks
I realize this video is several years old, but instead of cutting some of the pieces to shorten them for higher frequency resonance, why not go with smaller diameter pieces for those notes? Was this to closer mimic the prototype horn, or just never tried it? No wrong or bad answer, I'm just curious as I've seen this done by another fellow, but, his do not sound as good as yours. You guys really did take the time to tune them well.
I tried to build one horn as our "prototype" with plexiglass and i don't think that vibrates to make the sound and used rubber foam which does not recovery its form to well do you think thats the problem. And is there any other way i can flare out the horns because i don't have the equipment to make that round piece of wood. Where can i find the rubber sponge and what type of polycarbonate do you use, thickness thanks
Where do you all get you supplies. Lowe's, home depot, ace? And the Polly, the welding shop loved the videos but didn't know anything about the Polly sheets, brand? Thanks. Tom
Austin Mattingly i have a sheet of polycarbonate lexan at .080" thick, would that be too thick and where could i purchase the foam you said was the best?
Hi! What is the thickness of the polycarbonate plastic for the diaphragm? I've watched every video in your series, and I don't hear that answer..? Thanks!
Is it possible to build a smaller scale variant of a horn that sounds spot on identical to the full sized variant? Like something that would fit inside the shell of a 7.5 inch gauge locomotive?
I kinda doubt it unless you're building an F or E unit... I guess you could put them in a row in a GP or SD, but when you fire it off you'd probably blow the body off! What are you building? I'm working on an F7.
@@kleetus92 Nice. If I were to do this, I would want to start with the MP36 and a few Gallery Bi-Level cars with an actual operating Cab-Car. I'd want to be able to operate and control from either end. Has anyone ever even done a working 7.5 inch gauge Cab-Car before to your knowledge?
I was searching for Polycarb sheets and found this site (www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=15585&step=4&id=270&gclid=CIiXudWhzMYCFRCqaQodHsAN4g) however I'm guessing that a fine-tooth blade in a coping/band/jig saw would be recommended. Do you have any tips on cutting the square/rectangle blanks into circles?
People don’t you know there’s a pause button? If you’re having trouble figuring this out.. you probably shouldn’t be attempting such a build.. there’s a reason people pay over $500 for a (yes, PVC) set of train horns!
Wow it's great when people make videos going way too fast, with no parts list, and no dimensions... Then you go to the comments and see that the uploader is of no help. Easy dislike man
