Am I the only one who thinks this is totally cool? iPad connected to a vintage Victrola "horn".

That is cool, but talk about two technology extremes!
I wonder if it still sounds like a Victrola..

Yeah, but $895 for a piece of walnut and a tin horn. Good idea, but I bet I could make it cheaper.

That is really cool! There is another unpowered plexiglass amplifier for the ipod shown in this month's BBC music magazine. Not nearly as cool looking though.

$895 would be a bargain. I had the same though -- may be worth $100.

Possibly you could make one out of an old brass horn,like a French horn. Sometimes old band instruments can be had fairly cheap,especially if all you need is the horn,and some other part of the horn is damaged/missing.

Better chance of doing that rather than finding a very old Victrola horn.
