Dear Ron:
In thinking about "morning glory" horn verses "cygnet" horn one has to take
into consideration that the "cygnet" horns are generally attached to the
reproducer of a
cylinder phonograph whereas the "morning glory" horns are connected to the
soundbox of lateral-cut disk machines through the tone arm so the sound
passage must
include the "morning glory" horn in combination with the tone arm & this
combination would more generally approximate an exponential horn than the
"cygnet" horn
alone.
