Hello Skushino,

Glad to see "it's alive". I am near you, but I have a different phone #. You can PM me for it.

>>> back chamber: an 18" flange / Google 18" diameter PVC flange. If you use the glue on type, make sure you use the very heavy gray glue [make sure you use the compatible primer - extremely important].

>>> conical segments fastening: I would build a hefty flange on each segment & bolt together with a felt gasket material that will compress and will be easily replaced; no stickies, no glue.

>>> I use a lot of Baltic birch. Great stuff. I believe the 1 inch is only available in 5 foot by 5 foot sheets. You could consider marine grade plywood with Lloyd's of London approval/certification. Crosscut Hardwoods might stock this. Also compare price @ Compton's.

>>> Stand design: I would have to see a close to final design of the horns.

Best to you,zz.
