Wonderful Antique Wooden Horn in Original Paint with Bentwood Handle --Loud! delft These make me happy justHappy New Year! This antique wooden horn is a fun one to play, trumpeting very loudly, rather like a kazoo, and with a finger hole too for wavering the sound. Which was a happy discovery; I purchased it, sound unheard, just because I found it quite beautiful. Turned carved from one piece of wood, in original creamy white paint, and with a great bentwood (bent reed?) handle that enhances a sense of specialness. A sweet thing. 11 1 2" t. 1 7 8" d at
