marble horn fron Jaoan
I happened to came across this site.

http://homepage2.nifty.com/nonaka-sekizaiten/kurinuki%20horn.html

The guy's real business is making grave stones. Unfortunately, it's all in Japanese and the prices are not cheap ($1500~3000). He has all necessary machines and skill to create pretty much anything and willing to take any custom production. The material of most of his products are marble and brass for adapyors and untra short horns.

If anybody is interested, I can help the communucation. Jst e-mail me at sakurastms@aol.com

That's some nice work
Seems like a versatile option.
If you click on the links on that page you'll see some really neat setups.
Definitely one for the list.

new one:
Rullit Audio one of those funny c-37 type chaps but he is excellent with his hands it seems.
He's done horns in both lathed and bent wood formats.
He has a store on ebay and a gallery at Webshots.

Who builds horns: The Azurahorn from Australia

As I learned today the Australian Martin seddon know as the Azurahorn Guy has a web site and he also does horns:

http://www.azurahorn.com/azurahorn_tradesecrets.html

From Martin’s site:

Azurahorn is best described as a long term audio project, funded by occasional horn sales.  I developed a method of making accurate moulds, without expensive tooling, in order to explore the Le Cléac’h expansion in a variety of different set ups.  I now have moulds to make a range of fibreglass horns, for Full Range Lowther type drivers, and for Compression Drivers.

All secrets are here revealed, so you can set up you own horn factory if you wish.  Or you can order from me, and spend the time you save listening to music.

The following flare rates, in a range of throat sizes, are available:  160Hz, 204Hz, 340Hz and 550Hz. Plans and sections are provided for 50Hz  ‘Push-pull’ horns, or stand-alone Bass Horns.
Le Cléac’h horns create natural sounding music, with a deep involving sound stage.  This is a common finding reported by many users across the range.

I would like to thank Jean-Michel Le Cléac’h for his beautiful curve, given freely to all – and the brave experimenters who kept me going with their encouragement, orders, and commissions.

Kiom,

very good, welcome to family of crazy but real people. 1m diameter is 120Hz horns, that is good. Still I always wonder why people who do horn talk juts about the mouth size. Horns are characterized by mouth size, profile and length (throat size) and material. 1m horn with a 30cm throat is a horn but would need such a horn (dispute that foolish people mostly use exactly that type of horns). I wonder if that 125Hz horn that you propose to do … would it be the same $4000 if the horn had 30cm throat and with 10cm throat?

Throat size doesn´t make any price difference

Hello Romy, hi all

I can make the horns with any requested throat size, 30cm or 10cm diameter, price is the same- USD 4000 the pair.

The wood lathe will be ready probably end of this week.

As soon as I have pictures, I´ll post them.

Price is for a pair, painting included. Color and finish -a wide variety can be choosen from.

High precision of the requested horn profil (tratrix or hyperbol) is abtained.

The fault alert.

I am sorry folks for the post above. It turned out that poster “Kiom” is an impersonated “angeloitacare” – the celebrated idiots that should not be posting at this site. It kind of became suspicious since “Kiom” did not understand the price deviation with throat size. The people who met angeloitacare in person did notice that this cretin lacked basic ability to cognitively comprehend elemental things….

Anyhow, I have no idea what magnets that dirty-mouth, foul and malicious angeloitacare-idiot at my site.  I many times informed him directly that my “definition of success” in horns is a large circular saw cuts that “angeloitacare” on two half. It is shame that this dupe trying to pretend that he does something with audio. He is an idiot, his Moronic speakers are idiotic, his thinking is idiotic, his perceptives are idiotic, whatever he touches he convertes in idiocy, his fucking kids will be idiots even he will not be using his fucked mind and stupid hands to make them. How much man-loving should I demonstrate in order I never hear about this humane-waste again?

Electronluv/ e3 fabrication we can build horns.
Hi Romy

We build horns anyway some one would like ,  i have been making the horns that are in the pic for me  + the drivers that it use the drivers are a mid bass driver are a
6" alum field coil driver i like the sound of field coil magnets + easyer to build , the mid drivers is a 3" alum field coil driver , have learned alot about building drivers in the last couple years it sure is fun!! but i have a machine shop so it is just my time , you are very much correct about high flux in gaps there is a sweet spot for bass drivers and mid drivers and it is not the highest flux in the gap as for tweeters you want the highest you can get, the  mid bass horn is a hirydrbolic curve and turns in to a tractrix for the last couple feet mouth section. it is a 55" wide by 72" tall , length is 14' with a 6" throat. the mid horn is a mod tractrix that open fast 33" mouth 3" throat 17"long.
It did have a tweeter that i builded but it needs to be reworked sounds better with out it, the mid driver can play up to  20,000hz.

On day soon i will finish the set up the horns are made from steel and alum with a tar and sand mix that is applyed to outside to deaden the steel.

Electronluv hosns.
Electronluv,

I combined all your images into one post and pulled the images to my servers, I hope you do not mind – I juts do not like the deep-link the images to other sites. I have seen you horns before. It is nice that you have your services available for others and it is very interesting that you make your own drivers. I would have a number of critique and concerns about what you do and if you would like I might ask/express them in a separate thread dedicated specifically to you systems.

Thanks
You can talk about the designs all you want good or bad  critiques or concerns.
Some stuff i may try for future projects  and some of your  concerns may just be cAT litter to me.

Nice sight you are truly crazy about audio !!! 

take care.

The Netherland’s Horns for Vitavox and others.

There is a guy named Ad in Netherland who makes looks like aluminums (but I am not sure) horns for 1.5 inch compression drivers. The first picture it looks like an exponential: W=39cm/15.4Inch. L=45cm/17.7Inch.

I do not know if Tractrix and the French profiles are available. Also I do not know if the different horn sizes and different thickness of the horn’s walls are available. I do not know also if the 2” are available. The adaptors for 1” Altec are available however. The prices is E600 for unshipped pair. The guy could be contacted at: ad~at~artpassie~Dot~nl
