Here's a little video I put together of my 1951 Nathan round base M5 taking a spin on the Big South Fork Scenic Railway. For more information on the Big South Fork Scenic Railway, please visit www.bsfsry.com/.

How can anyone claim the RS5T is the king of horns when this video clearly demonstrates that its not even close?
@coasternamegenerator56116 жыл бұрын
K20017 Andy West has a Leslie rs5t-rro from 1979 that is really good sounding and competes with this Nathan m5.
@freymaster44495 жыл бұрын
The RS5T is king because it growls and likes to show who’s boss. The M5 sings very beautifully.
@devernepersonal36364 жыл бұрын
you are all wrong, the Nathan K3HA when properly tuned and as loud as it can be, shows who is boss.

I love how this horn's tuning sounds exactly like that of an RS-5T (but with that M-series sound) when given only partial air pressure, and slides into that M-5 chord when given full air pressure.

You got that right! The echoes in the hills seem to bring the horn to life. I've got several videos posted that were recorded on Padre Island, TX. The horns sound ok, but are very bland without the echoes. The constant wind out on the coast doesn't help the recordings much either.

@dgblairjr42 I'm not positive what RR it came from, but it appears to have an ACL inspired paint scheme. Not sure if it was painted that way by the RR or if it was done by a collector as it was found in a barn in FL where it had been sitting for many years. Your guess is as good as mine.
