Looking like something out of a Dr. Seuss story, the Trumstand from Pleiades System Design passively amplifies an iPhone’s built-in speaker using a large horn attached to a machined base. [via Core77]

has been hand-making similar constructions from old instruments.

He did a presentation at the Austin Dorkbot meeting, and I was really impressed at his craftsmanship and how well these worked.

  I did a similar thing, though nowhere near as elegantly or beautifully, about five years ago. I replaced the needle of a gramophone with a 3.5mm audio jack, and fitting the speaker within the soundbox.
  
  Very simple modification, and it came out looking pretty good. Details are online if anyone’s interested in replicating it:

beautiful…if you like the fixed aesthetic from the vision of Apple.
Personally, I love it on an iPad and am indifferent on the iPhone,Claw Digital
Reviewthe development of iPhone initiated, also came to the view an
industry known as iPhone application
development. And, for this reason, these who ended up fond of software development were actually at gain.
