Sounds like the next batch of FH's is filling up! We'll all be busy over the winter.

How do I get in on the next batch?

How do I get in on the next batch?

you just did - PM to Dave -

we're still refining our calculus on guesstimating which drivers to machine baffles for - this might be as good a time as any to initiate a poll?

 

[Cal Weldon]

I'm doing the EL 70 as you know.

I noticed Dave isn't accepting PMs at this time. I composed a whole message expressing my desire to purchase a flat pack from the second run only to have it rejected! Bummer!

So I suppose the next best thing is to post a reply to this thread expressing the same desire...

Are you guys doing cutouts for FE108 Sigmas?

Thanks,
Evan

I can't see why the PM was rejected - try the contact address listed on the Planet10 site.

Of course Dave does monitor these forums as well, so he might well contact you directly .



Yes to the second - queue for machine time is a bit tight at the moment, so it may be another week or so before enough parts are machined for shipping.

Hi Chris, I have emailed you my phone number, I was unable to get through to you other than at your home.

Thanks.

I've got lots of eMail addresses and they all should work. You can't send me a message thru the Forum's private messaging system, i have that turned off. Archived eMails help me seem like i have a better memory than i do

Here's my nearly complete pair of Frugel Horns, just have to finish up the outriggers.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

You can read about the assembly step-by-step at my blog:

A very special thanks to Planet-10 for offering such a great project!

Very nice writeup, thanx.

And i should not be getting the credit alone for the frugel-horn... Chris & Scott played huge roles in the Mk3 and all those who helped get the idea off the ground with FH1. Inparticular Ron Clarke with the signature curved mouth opening.

that's Team Planet-10 (even with the mostly silent members)

Unfortunately my flat pack sits waiting on my 'shop' floor.

Thanks for the heads up, I modified the post to reflect the credit to the Planet10 team Always good to give credit where credit is due

Frugal, not frugel?

 

[planet10]

Frugal, not frugel?

Frugal is the name of the site, as in a way to get amazing performance for not much money. The actual horn is Frugel, as in a play on the words frugal, and flugel (as in flugel-horn)
