Hunting/signal horn

[richard robinson]

I had a friend who had a repro of a bronze irish horn. It was similar shaped to the lituus and the horn shaped end was detatchable from the main tobe (which was 2-3 ft long) and playable in its own right. he played it as one does a didgeridoo. I played it like a horn. Its resonance was awesome. However I always theorised that it must have had a wooden mouth piece as it did not end in a truncated cone as per normal horns, It also had little thorn like decorations as part of its décor.
I will be interested to hear how yours goes
