[QUOTE="Jozua_2019, post: 1125541, member: 22339"] Sarel a) Looking at your estimated costing - my gut feel is the costing is way too much for such a simple project - Baltic Birch (BB) is nice but I do not think your el cheapo Fostex driver quality justifies BB wood cost. Maybe in the USA but not in SA. b) In my experience even simple projects - turn out costly in terms of TIME and COST- hence my suggestion is to look for a better driver -if that is not an option then go cheap with the wood. c) Most people routinely opt for the cheap Fostex drivers - very few consider the more upmarket drivers - you are in for a penny - you can just as well spend a bit more and and import a top notch Fostex driver and make this a more ambitious project. Build something special - then your time and cost becomes justifiable. d) A Fostex horn build is on my agenda - but first I need to finish Ingvar RLK horn. Take care. [/QUOTE]
