Description Everything is true about this piece except for the name of the machine, "agitator unit", which is a household device. Text and pictures found in Popular Mechanics from the 1940s. I made it into some sort of hand made Russian design to adjust to the name of the machine. Still not quite finished with it.

At a used car dealer you can by a car horn – the rest is up to you!

Would be nice to think about smaller versions, usable in every situation...
Escalators, subways, stores etc.

The apparatus needs a little mouthpiece, which you may want to add in the next iteration. This way, should the owner find him or herself in a subway, for instance, as so many urban Americans do on a daily basis, he/she could simply lift up the thing and play some honking jazz. Subway acoustics are the best ever. That would certainly add to the agitator unitness of this!

A very good solution to an already brilliant idea!

I have a recording of NY NY played by car horns. Hilarious!

That is what it would sound like I guess!
