Earlier this year, I tried 'making' a horn with several different results, but I have found that 20 ft of garden hose (I think it's 20 ft...) makes an okay C horn. Combined with a mouthpiece, you can get a fair number of the overtones. The tone itself is pretty trashy, but multiphonics on it just sound wonderful, because the rubber will muffle some of the vibrations.
