Jessie, if it is any encouragement you would have at least one client.
Would it not be much less difficult and expensive to produce horn moulds if each horn was an assembly of identical sub-components? The idea is to segment the horn longitudinally into wedge segments, like an orange or an old fashioned wine barrel, cast the segments and then assemble them into the finished product. It is possible to engineer "pegs" within each segment so one does not have to worry about the fit at the end.
Apart from making the casting much simpler this means you can ship the things disassembled, greatly reducing the volume, transportation costs, access issues, etc. It also means you can construct a horn in situ weighing much more than anyone could easily move.
Rgds, D
