any faves for drivers and cabinets?

Ron's A166 & DallasII, or Bob's Dalek should do the job. Possibly Sachiko. Aside from those, I reckon a BVR like the half-Chang box I did would probably work better. Modestly proportioned & uncomplicated the others are not.

I would go with the half Chang like Scott suggested, unless you are after a full horn sound. The 207 in the .5x Chang would be a good perfomer ,attractive (grill cloth on the mouth), and a simple build.

BLHs are best left to those with an addiction.

Hi Ron - - Imight be able to get cutter to do RCA-Fan's horn (?) - if he has time - its the simplest bigger horn - if not might have to go BIB -- seems like BIB would make 1/2 octave tradeoff going lower but losing upper bass . Are BIB too rough (and weak) for cello and bass viola? Best, Freddy

I have no idea what the frequency range of a cello is?

One of my favorite cds on my new Half Changs is Truls Mork's Bach: Cello Suites - really shows off the speakers...

hi Bob - which one over at frugal-horn.com is a half-Chang? fwiw RCA-Fan seemed to think his horn was good on cello and rejected a 31Hz prototype as it wasn't good on cello. Karr sounds pretty good (tone wise) on double-bass with cello suites. Freddy

Sounds promising to me.

freddi,

Dave hasn't posted the Half Chang on the Spawn pages over at the frugal horn site (at least as of the last time I checked), but he did post the plans in this thread post
