Nathan K5L Train Horn

Note; The external appearance of the K5LA and the K5L is the same. The tuning difference in two of the bells is done inside the horn bell and therefore the #3 bell (A#) and the #3A bell (G#) are the same physical size, as are the # 4 bell (C) and the #4A bell (B). Use the player to the right to hear a K5L horn which is soundwise identical to the K5H horn.
     The Nathan K5L is essentially the same as the K5LA except for the tuning of two of the horns. Therefore its chord is slightly different. The K5L sounds D# F# A# C D#, which is a D# minor sixth chord which is called Canadian tuning as these are used extensively in Canada. The K5H\LA, (American tuning) sounds D# F# G# B D#, which is a B major 6th chord.
     Check out our horn pitches page and use the virtual testing piano on the horn pitches page to hear what these actual notes sound like individually. Click on the player above to the right to hear the K5L in action on a train. A tonally identical horn on a high base is the K5H.
