whitehackle Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hello I am looking to buy a hunting horn mainly as an ornament, so an old one would be better. But I would also like to be able to use it. I have been searching on google for horns and can not find a lot of information or even many retailers. Could anyone give me some advice? Or has anyone got one they are looking to sell? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Type hunting horn on eBay. Hundreds come up. You could narrow it down by specifying copper or brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehackle Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Where did you buy the horns from? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gedney Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Mostly ebay ,car boots etc ,i sometimes buy damaged horns cheap ,as ive found a guy who repairs brass instruments,ie dent removal etc, the best tend to be nickel and copper rather than copper and brass,as i say i,m no expert but i think i know a replica now.
