Video and sound file[edit]
IdreamofJeanie, I have added an alternate video file that focusses more on the unfurling of the horn than the one you previously removed and added a sound file that presents the typical sound of a horn unfurling.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- We really need a better video than this one. Something simpler with the party horn shown more prominently than the person blowing it. SteveBaker (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- SteveBaker, There are other videos in at Commons:Party horns. None focus just on the party horn, but take a look.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:36, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Commons:Party horns says: "This page does not currently exist. You can search for this page title in other pages or create this page." - so, no - I don't think so. SteveBaker (talk) 16:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Help[edit]
Who invented these wonderful party honkers?? I need answers 139.55.38.75 (talk) 16:38, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, a History section would be delightful—unless these classic devices quickly became so ubiquitous that their origins were lost in the Mists of Time.
- If it were up to me, I'd also have a section on the social benefits of keeping a party horn on one's person, for the purpose of responding to absurd statements. I can't possibly be the only one here who finds that useful. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:50, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about 'the mists of time' BUT in the 1950s they had a specific name. I don't recall what that name was, BUT it was not anything to do with 'party'. I suspect it had something to do with, 'unfurling 'in as much as that is what it did. 78.150.172.115 (talk) 21:53, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Related article—Air Handler?[edit]
Sure, they both involve air—but can someone tell me why large mechanical devices such as air handlers should be so associated with party horns as to be considered a related topic? Maybe it was someone's idea of a joke? I'm tempted to add a link to French horn... At least they're curly. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:45, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
