Seems like you could get a Conn 8D or Holton 180 for just a little more money, so why not? You get what you pay for. You can save a little money now and be stuck with a horn of questionable integrity, or spend a little more and actually have an investment. Another thing to consider is if you ever want to sell the horn, people are going to be asking the same question you're asking. Just my two cents. -William In a message dated 11/8/2010 1:47:50 P.M.
