subliminally. Giovanni Battista Venturi was Italian, so shouldn't
the singular be venturo, or is it one ventura, two venture ?-)

Veering ever so close to NHR territory, I would suspect that since it is a
proper name, Venturi should remain intact.
OF COURSE!!

Folks, I bought the proper tool with which to measure these things
(thanks to Paul for pointing me to an ebay auction), and I will report
on my findings once it arrives here.

You say, The end of the mouthpiece should ideally come right to the
beginning of the ventura. If these line up, they provide a taper that
expands from the bore of the mouthpiece to the cylindrical tubing of
the horn without gaps or obstructions.
If the negative taper can vary from
You can have whatever length of taper you'd like. It's the rate of
taper that's important. If the rate of taper of both the leadpipe and
the mouthpice are identical (which is an agreed upon standard), then
your mouthpiece could go in .1 or 2 and it won't make any
difference. That is of
seriously consistent ventura placement are Walter Lawson's horns.

The only way you can tell exactly where the ventura is in a mouthpipe is to

This is done with a small hole gauge.
Would you be kind enough to give an example, perhaps a link to
somewhere online, of a small hole guage. If it's not

Venturi (1746-1822) discovered the venturi effect which is named after him.
So it is one venturi, several venturis.

Hi Steve,
The Selman is a Chinese horn. I've been
through several (10-12) of various configurations
and I've found most have receivers that are too
large and the venturi locations are unpredictable.
Keep in mind that how far the mpc goes into the

Thanks.

HI Steve,
Here is a very basic answer to your question.
A lead pipe has three primary physical components that are important
to its acoustical design.
They are:
A. the negative taper. This is the 1st section (aprox. 1/2 to 1 long)
that the mouthpiece fits into.
It is called the negative
