Subject:Re: Another crazy Leslie idea?

Bear in mind that the first Leslie™ horns were made of Paper Mache,
glued into a block of wood in the center. I've only seen a few, and I
can't recall if they had the exponential looking flair of the later
plastic ones or not.

Also, early cabinets had 1 slot (louver) and some at least had a layer
of sound absorbing material stapled in behind that opening and on the
inside of the upper back.

"The Sound" has been constantly evolving.

Cheers!
