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.
