Post Subject: A triangular midbass almost-tapped horn?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/30/2010

Looking that my attic place is very much triangle I am contemplating an experiment with triangular horn. The idea that lead me there was Balalaika. Balalaika is Russian 3-strings musical instruments that has unique sound. One of the attribute of the unique is that it is really loud. The reason is that the deck is triangular and opposite walls have no reflections. So, the sound entering the deck get infinitely reflected. Balalaika has own compressed and a bit “closed” sound but it wanted to be wide bandwidth – something that I do not need and against.

I wonder why do not used the same idea somehow for a construction of a horn? Any brainstorming ideas are welcome. For the encouragement here is Russian Balalaika master Aleksei Arkhipovsky plays 1928 instilment.
