The 4 sections are done. The last one is not glued yet. The reason what we assemble the section and then glue them is because the section have complex 3D geometry with all 4 sides are under specific arc. Yes, that is right – even the side of the horn the face another hoe is not flat but curved - we need it in order to have back chambers of the horns to fit.
The last 4 section that are doe are the heart of the hyperbolic opening, the remanding 3 section will be pretty mach near conical little opening. Interesting that we are 3 section from the throat but the diameter of the last 4th section is almost 7 inch. Still the total surface aria is as much as it shall be at the given distance. The further narrowing will be done by losing the sides of the opening. The last section will be transition from rectangular to strictly 7” throat. Hers is where will be a very slick solution – stand by and you will like it.
So, we will run the whole horn to the throat to make sure that we heat right geometry and only then we will introduce framing, 3 flanges and connectors. At this point we have just a shell of the horn and guys – she is getting to be beautiful… Today I kind of feel shame that that this beauty will sit in attic and no one will see her….
