Unfortunately the art of working with carabao horn has been largely lost, as Nacho said. Am planning though to visit one off-the-beaten-path island in the Philippines where the tradition is supposed to be still alive ... not sure if the report is true, but we'll see later.

Thank you for the further informations!
