What about the non-Conn 6D look-alikes (e.g., Olds, Buescher)?

As with all Conn horns, the Elkhart instruments have the best reputation and respect. Elkhart 6Ds usually go for $400-500 on ebay, and a valve rebuild to better than new, if needed, would still keep it in the $1000 range. There are any number of after-market leadpipes that turn the 6D into a really exquisite instrument, suitable for professional playing. With the growth in interest in medium bell horns, Geyer size, the rediscovery of the 6D is only a matter of time.
