3 x 8 segment conical approximation of tractrix horn designed specifically for the vocal range. 
I'm using a Octohorn for some of the recordings for inside the boxes - it an amazing design and really enchanted me at the R10 Electronic event last friday. As i'm working with these ornaments i'm thinking about what they hear and the sound inside the box playing out. 

Designed and made by the talented Jim Frize.   
Mould for a jack in the box - possible music box. Bones, water and trees.
