I am most unimpressed by the “workmanship” of the 4th valve tubing.

I bet that thing will pass Tech Inspection at the local dragstrip, though.

It’s got it’s own kickstand for when you set it on its bell (2nd picture).

Looks like this is one of those rare horns in the key of "A".

Only $1680. Hot damn.

Wow, that thing is... interesting. Kudos to whoever had the guts to do that on their own (speaking as someone who is currently working on adding a fourth valve to a horn again).

I saw the title of the post and thought maybe someone was selling a 103 that Dan Schultz has souped up. Nope!

But hey, if it works...

Elephant will know the source of this saying. It certainly applies here:
"If it works, is it really a dumb idea?" In this case, it absolutely is!
