Maybe this is better via PM, AB strike me down if so...
What would potentially be of interest, are "horn treatments".
The could e.g. be foam 'lips' around the openeing (mouth), or actual plugs intended to fill the interior (or portion thereof) of particular horn designs.
e.g. see: http://www.hostboard.com/forums/f700...rn#post1803598
The plugs would in many cases require 3d shaping ability to match the interior contours, and specific densities of 'reticulated foam' are desired.
If that's in the cards, I'd like to hear more.

I've made and sold a few but quit offering them as they were a PITA to make.
Now if I could get some help for my business...
