Siren #208: Greener Pastures
Our Sawdust Sirens are old style acoustic amplifiers for your new phone's speaker. Simply put your phone in and have a listen.
This Magnificent Morning Glory Phonograph Horn has a muted silver/grey finish on the outside, 11 convex petals, and a green painted center with pink and coral flowers. Greener Pastures is approximately 33” tall with a 23.5” bell. The whole piece is about 37” tall x 23.5” wide and deep. This type of horn would have been used with an Edison cylinder phonograph or Columbia graphaphone with a support crane. This particular design of phonograph horn was also sometimes called a Flower Horn, Morning Glory Horn, or Petalled Horn. The base is made from a large piece of reclaimed cherry that was once a fireplace mantle. The base is finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & mineral oil). You may wish to re-oil your base occasionally. This is the biggest Flower Horn we have ever had.
If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.
