Re: Re: hat and horn

Heya,
i have kind of a technical question . . .
we're planning a halloween party (yeah i know very early) and i (of course) want to dress as harpo, whilst my roommate it experimenting with greasepaint . . . (sheesh those grouchomaniacs tzk tzk tzk)
we spent all day looking for things suitable as costumes. and of course the old hat and horn problem occured to me.
Well hat might be no problem at all, gimme some wire and satin and i'll create something, for it should look worn out there's no prob.
but the horn is more difficult, i read up this threatt and we came to discuss the thing. . .
How does a horn work in general? i never thought bout it.
if it's just a tube with a bulb i would have no problems to make it myself. What i don't know is, is there something inside to make a better sound? a sharp edge or something? i know it sounds poor but i think i never had a bulb horn in my hand.

so has anyone a hint for me?
i of course will find a way to post photos
take care,
sonja
