Default Which Horn

I only have one horn on my car. It's anemic and barely audible. All the vendors have "replacement" horns for ~$73 in low and high note, and "replacement" horns for $27 in low and high - none of them look right. Then there's the "Universal" Metal horns, which look right, but come in a pair for $145, but i only need one.....

Sounds as if 69XR7 has lost one somewhere to history. Those of us with factory single horns (my '72 for example) know that it sounds like a sick moose and not the attention-getting, classic Chevrolet dual-tone of earlier and later years.

69XR7, try a keyboard to hear the combination of F-note (low tone) and D-note (high tone). Then, look at eBay listings for those notes. They should sound right.
