are an option for assembly. Aside from the obvious ease of use, I was considering the joint behaviour, really just looking for problems. It occurred to me the potential advantage of having a less-than-mechanically tight joint. Zip ties and a somewhat conformal gasket could do that. (Or something similar, could be just thick silicone etc. to do both)
The five individual horn pieces having higher self resonance semi-coupled creates some opportunity to push the resonance of a horn one way or the other. I'm not going to try and guess something like that at this stage or whether good or bad. I'm not anticipating a specific resonance problem yet but as the horns get bigger this could be a way to react rather than adding weight or stiffening. Fracturing the resonance into different regions. Like a fractured egg held together with that thin inner skin.
There is also the chance that the shape and density of the infill, in addition to wall thickness could do similar things, I'm getting a bit into the weeds.
These bigger pieces are starting to feel like something resembling pressed cardboard or hard paper mache. Kinda has that sound when you tap or handle it.
This 375hz chalice I want to run from 1000hz-1500hz up to 2400hz-2500hz
