The horns are painted with final coats. 240 feet of superb 6ga cable laid out to connect the horns (on the picture below). The sand bags sealed. The final bridges on the attic are built. The horns are almost ready to move up. I just need to hang the back chambers. There is an interesting twist….
The back chambers are sterile and I paid a lot of attention to assure that it will be absolutely no dust or any partials in back or front chambers. I even built a small foam tampon to plug into the second section during the lifting up to assure that it will be no accidental dirt goes into front chamber (you can see them on the picture, the tampons are green). Since the tampon will not be able to be remove if the first section is attached I run a rope from the tampon to the mouth of the horns, to yank the tampon out what the game will be over. Now it the kinky think. The think rope that attached to tampon and goes over the whole horn makes a hell of contrabass. Stretching the rope and playing it sitting a few feet from the horn mouth make it sound very magic. It is not loud but very low and very beautiful.
