This witch recently flew back into our lives. This is the tallest Witch’s Hat Phonograph Horn we have ever had in our possession. She’s big and beautiful and made of copper. She stands about 3 feet 7” tall with a 16” bell with its wrinkles and crinkles of time. The whole piece is about 46” tall x 16” deep. This type of horn was used with an Edison cylinder phonograph and/or Columbia graphaphone. It would have come with a support crane. We needed to build a crane for this horn as well to prevent her from tipping over. She is partnered with a reclaimed floor joist from Plays & Players Theater on Delancey Street in Philadelphia, PA. The wood is from a renovation of the theater that was done in the early 90’s. The joist was removed in order to make room for the trap door on the stage. The base is finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & mineral oil). You may want to re-oil the base occasionally. Each Siren is signed on the bottom of the base.

If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.

This large horn was given to us as a gift (or perhaps a challenge) by our neighbor Jerry. This was a challenge for sure. Could we make it work? Would it fall over? How big do we have to make the base? We had many neighborhood consultations while building this baby.

Please let us know if you have a plus sized phone.
