Leslie S-2B |

Horn and photo courtesy Brent Lee. One of the bells could be reversed to provide good sound volume in both directions. The horn shown is an early version (1950's) with a two-piece #31 bell and bronze power chambers. |
The S-2B was a less popular Leslie two-chime horn compared to the S-2M. It used the #31 and 37 bells, which are also the two lowest notes in the reasonably popular three-chime S-3K. |
Factory tuning: 311 and 370 Hz (approximately D# and F#).
|
The S-2B was not a very common horn despite its pleasing minor 3rd interval.
It was presumably used by some railroads in lieu of the S-2M, but such uses have not been
documented.
