Looking for three-note bike horn

[fairyhedgehog]

I cycle a lot on shared use paths and if I call out "excuse me" to pedestrians I'm not always heard. I have a bell which is tiny and tinny and people either don't hear it at all, or seem very startled by it. I mostly want to use a bell/horn to politely let people know I'm coming through without startling them, because most of the pedestrians are very pleasant and friendly. Just all over the path!

The other day I heard a cyclist coming towards me and s/he had a horn that gave three rising notes. It was loud enough for me to hear as I approached from a little way away and it sounded pleasantly musical. The pedestrians gave way with smiles on their faces.

Does anyone know where I can find a horn like this?

Might be over the top for a pedestrian deterrent, but it wasn't half effective against cars!

There is this one, but it's electric and has only two sounds and on youtube it sounds well ...... crap

I'm wondering if I need two types of horn: one for cycle paths and one for traffic!

Now why didn't I think of that?

That one sounds a bit brash. (Or as you so aptly put it: crap!)
