Post Subject: Bad "choked" mouth termination.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/12/2006

The termination of the Bruce’ horns is funny to say at least. The red zone on the picture is completely bogusly unnecessary. I do not think that they hoe make horn for Bruce has any remote comprehension of what he does. Some of the Bruce horns that I have seen were terminated properly and I never even thought to discuses this requirement with Bruce’ but what I opened mine delivered I saw that same step-terminated flare. Only God in his infant wisdom knows why the hell they did it. Their step-termination  dose not affect the size, marital spending or anything else – I think it is juts their habit to deal with clueless customer that enables them to do whatever they want.

You see, a tratrix horn must be ended perpendicular, Bruce’s the step-termination does it but why we need that step on the edges of the flare? I have no idea if it affects sound, highly unlikely that is would in context of my 500Hz-1000Hz horn but the entire idea of a properly operating horn is gradual explanation without any steps. I spent almost 5 hours to sand down that rough step that I had there and to fix some other minor issues that the horns had. I still did not do it as perfect as I would like to have it ( I have not patience to do it) but it is much better then it was originally. (Similar to what you had in your pile of horns picture above). Here in on the picture below of the horns are after 3 layers of prime paint and patching the defects between the layers. It gives an idea tat it slightly smoother.
