Siren #244: Around the Bend
Siren #244: Around the Bend
Our Sawdust Sirens are old style acoustic amplifiers for your new phone's speaker. Simply put your phone in and have a listen.
This particular antique/vintage car horn is approximately 11” tall with a 3” bell with lots of patina and married to a base made from a fallen Japanese Yew from Tyler Arboretum. The whole piece is about 13.5” tall x 5.75” wide x 9” deep. The base is finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & mineral oil). You may wish to re-oil your base occasionally. Each Siren is signed on the bottom of the base with the siren # and name. This type of horn would have been mounted on the side of a car or motorcycle and used to have a reed and rubber ball attached to it.
If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.
Please let us know if you have a plus sized phone.
