If it 'plays' ONE note (or a duel tone) yes, if it plays any kind of
'tune' no [1].
[1] IIRC there is no law that states you can't have them fitted if
they play a tune but it must not be the audible warning device. ie.
you need your normal horn fitted as well and working from the cars
normal horn switch.

I think that's confused the issue. As I read it, you can have 'multi
tone' horns provided they all sound at the same time - not alternate as in
emergency vehicles or ice cream vans.

I have an out-of date RAC book which says musical horns are OK on vehicles
first used before 1/8/73. I don't know if they've changed that.

Theres also a date cutoff for dual tone as well - about 1971 IIRC.

Yes, but they have more cornets than a normal orchestra...

Sheese. If you're drinking stuff that cheap I'd decant it first.

Oh, for goodness flake! It wasn't much, hardly my Magnum Opus.
I didn't know whether I'd get a raspberry or ripple of applause.
Tunes? How about Tales from the Vienetta Woods?

Why is that - my car has dual-tone horn fitted as standard, although
obviously not air horns. I don't see why dual-tone is illegal for air horns
though - it does give a more noticeable sound than a single-tone horn.
Cheers,
Paul.

No, the ones that can play different notes - ie. so as to make a tune
(such a 'Dixie'). Most cars have two horns - a high and low tone - but
these are operated at the same time.

You can have dual, triple, or a hundred tone air or any other type of
horns, provided they all play at once, not in sequence.
