Well I've actually seen a tin one....Springfield IL, Illinois Veteran's Museum, Mark Whitlock, Curator. Attributed to a Georgia Cavalry Regiment I believe. ...
When you say tone, I assume you mean pitch, which is going to be B flat with the Ferrary. The pitch can be adjusted somewhat for fine tuning by moving the cork...
