Felix Svan the inside is filled with boke and cartilage. Generally if you put it in a warm dry place you can get that to all shake out. It may take some drying time. This horn had been drying for 5 years before this video. It shouldn't take that long but it might take a year. For us we put it up in the barn loft.
@@felixsvan2982 Traditionally you can also boil it! but I'd still recommend you let it dry for a couple of months, because boiling a fresh horn is one of the worst smells EVER! You take a big pot (perhaps not one you plan on cooking in afterwards) and let the horn boil for like an hour! Then you should be able to carefully whack it against a wooden surface or something and the cartilage will just plop out! Also, when it's hot from boiling you can also bend and adjust its shape a bit. Boiling immediatly works, but I'd recommend you let it dry over the summer and then try to whack it against a wooden surface. If you're lucky that's enough and it falls out, if not then at least it won't smell as awful when you boil! Also, boil outside!! (Smell)
Astor Niit thank you very much! I didn’t actually know that would work. Well, I haven’t got a horn yet, might never get one ;( but if I do I could try both tactics. Even though it smells haha.
@@felixsvan2982 It's probably worth the smell if you really want to make it! Have you tried to ask a local butcher what they do with the horns? If you're lucky they'll give a few of them to you for free! There's also some sites that sell cow horns relatively cheaply for horn carving!
You want to scrape the sides as if you are thinning it up
The deeper the mouthpiece the better the resonance output. You could just get a baritone mouthpiece for clarity.
Makes sense.
Great video! I was planning on making one but I had one question... how do I make the horn hollow at the thickest part of it near the skull?
