Got this for Christmas and am glad to say I have upgraded from “duck-fart noob” to “dying-cow novice.”

It’s funny because that exact LOTR scene is why I want one of these

Very informative for research purposes.

thanks a lot for this! I'm just trying to build my own right now and wanted some info about the mouth piece! This viedo has been useful! :D

[cchivers]

Hey! Success! I got a small blast! Excellent video, thanks!

My war horn works because I get so F@#king mad at the horn sounding like shit that I could take on a small army.

Where can i get a good loud sound horn.

[silvanusbull]

Mine just arrived earlier today from Grimfrost...and of course I immediately set to tooting it, and you guessed it, Duck fart... I'm glad I'm just doing it wrong and I didn't waste my money on something defective haha. I'll be sounding the charge in no time.

The one you're showing here almost looks like there is a concavity carved into the end around the hole. I am currently trying to get one of your products to work for the first time, but mine has its blowing hole on a flat end. Is that typical? I'm seeing from other videos on the net that having that concavity on the blowing end makes it much easier to use.

So while practicing with my new war horn, the duck fart apparently sounds like the mating call for Canadian Geese.

[ihsanulkamil]

I want to buy this. Omg. This is so cool

[josephlapointejr]

Didn't know how significant the battle horn actually was to the Vikings

[henrikgustafsson]

Yada yada yada, quiet and sound a proper blast!

[toysoldier]

Why do we hear your voice better than the horn?

[Aussieboiboi]

Hello I don’t know if you will reply or not but I got this Horn for my Bday but I got it from EBay because I’m in Australia and I could not get it to Australia so I got it on eBay and then when it came the people I bought it off had like a party blower stuck in the bit where you blow so I cut it out with my knife but I’m doing everything every video has told me and just making and sound any advice?

All I managed to call was a herd of goats.
