[urq] horn

[Ado Sigal]

Actually all horns are adjustable, the screw is usually hidden behind a seal at the rear. The usual failure is the
oxidized contact points, but since it isn't a valuable unit, replacement is the best option. You can use any horn with
two connectors. If you want a smooth tone, use ones with coiled horn, and if you want sharp piercing sound, use ones
with a metal membrane at the front. Placing them sideways, like Steve, it does prolong their life. Use of two tone or
unison combination is your preference.
