Heh, you may want to disregard a comment I made on the thread with your lamp - I think these are fine examples of music devices that look their purpose...  I commented before i read this thread...  Nice work.  SS |

Very nice, although my first reaction to the first photo was, "Wouldn't the needle be hard on the touch-screen?"  |

Thank you one and all.
The big problem is going to be finding more horns to use. Yesterday went to an antique store and saw the identical horn I used with the torch player for $40. I had paid ten. I have been collecting horns for a year and have a few more that hopefully will become ipod gramophones.

Great work maets! I reckon there's a market there if you can keep your costs down.
My colleague here at work was very impressed!

There does seem to be a reasonable supply of the torches. I spent yesterday hunting again for horns. This time I was somewhat successful. Found a small tuba, a trombone, and a trumpet at fair prices for their condition. These three will let me make some larger gramophones. Experimented with the tuba. GREAT sound with a battery powered speaker. Coming soon to a thread near you.

As promised. Completed a Gramophone based around a tuba. Its at http://brassgoggles.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,36249.0.htmlThese two and the bigger one use a battery powered speaker at the small end of the horn to create the sound which is then channelled and amplified by the horn. |

Thanks!
Crappy show last weekend, but the brass torch gramophone did find a home.

My sales were WAY off before I had to take time off for a busted up hand. Hope we all see improvement. The new owner should be VREY proud of the torch gramophone. |
