Fiamm Air Horns Needed

[rswirtz]

Wow, thanks Dave, you got me wondering again what could possibly be wrong with the horns, I have one here with me so I took it down to our local garage and used his air compressor, she blew proud :-) I guess my little garage compresor just was too wimpy. Thanks Again !!! Rick

There was no spring behind the diaphrams in my horns, only the thin copper diaphram, which was torn through. I used a piece of plastic packaging material that was about the same thickness and cut it out the same size and the horn blats just fine... You must turn the trumpet in and out to find the sweet spot where it all vibrates and then tune it to the right tone. Hard to do alone as you need a horn button pusher and a trumpet tuner.

If you are going to replace the newly chromed fiamms, let me know as I'll take them...

Dang, Looks like newly chromed trumpets are not in my future...

Glad they are working. Maybe I will chrome mine for the like new look in the fall.

You need a lot of air to move those, preferably hot air. This is why certain individuals' horns work so well.
