Post Subject: The "maket" time.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 7/13/2010

I had a meeting with my carpenter and he pitched me two interesting ideas

1) Because we built ¼ of horn then the curve is relatively small. So, after do some circulations he asked me: why my triangle might not have two flat perpendicular sided and one curved side? I think that if the area of each distance from throat is the right one then it shall not be a problem.

2) After calculating the chords of horn curve he proposed that it would be much better of he built first a paper-made prototype of the horn, let say 10:1, I call it “maket” Then he feel he will be more accurately shape the chords of curve and the pattern of transition peace (BTW, we know how the transition will be done now). After we play with the maket then the full size horn will be just subject of multiplication by 10

PS: is work Maket used in English?
