      So what would be the best way to model this horn? (sorry for the quality of the image, it's the best shot I could find) I'd like it be low poly, or at least as low as possible and still look reasonably good. I'll be splitting it in half and mirroring it, so that should help. I've tried several methods and the results are less than satisfactory. My patience is wearing thin so I thought I'd throw it on here and see if anybody has a good method I might try. Thanks in advance.
      (I know the solution will probably be ridiculously simple, but my one active brain cell has a killer headache tonite and isn't cooperating at all) 😞

        This is Curve maker and Taper maker and then simple follow me for the squeezy bit and the bell.
        Obviously not correct but it's 2 minutes work and using those tools you should be able to get what you want.

          I really appreciate your input. I'm reading the PDF file for these plugins, and will download and install them afterwards. It's a constant source of frustration for me that I can't begin to keep up with all the plugins being made for SU, and even with those I do install it's difficult to become proficient with those that I don't use frequently. But all I can do is the best I can, so onward and upward.
          Thanks again.

            This my try with Shape bender and DrawHelix.
            This way with the first shape you can try multiple attempts modifying the line or and the path.
