am looking for a longer, narrower, horn-looking instrument, perhaps shaped
like a soprano sax, and most likely made out of metal.
In
short, l perform a number of vocal sounds with my mouth which sound
variously like a trumpet, trombone, tuba, bass, and other strange or
interesting sounds. People are amazed to hear me perform jazz or my own
compositions with just my voice, but other than using a microphone to
increase volume or perform live my voice can not ''cut through'' like
horns or other metal instruments.
In 1992, a friend had a
cheap plastic ''toy which did exactly what l was looking for, and was
shaped much like a soprano sax, without keys. It had a resonator on it,
maybe more than one, at the wide end. And l believe there were 5 separate
small holes at the resonator end, instead of one large one. The body of
the horn was hot pink (LOL), and the mouthpiece and resonator-end cap were
yellow... I'd rather it be almost any other color than that :) but I am
more interested in its utilitarian than aesthetic qualities. l have never
seen one of these plastic resonator horns since 1992. Have any of you
heard of this? If so, let me know who makes it and where l can get one./>
Any help, resources, links, or any other information would be
sincerely appreciated. If a sound engineer would like to try to build one
for me, or knows of anyone who has created anything like the horn l am
seeking, please let me know.
Please feel free to write me back
