The issue begs the question, is there a standard description of such work. Absent a clear definition of terms, "totally restored" might in one case mean putting it in its original case with original mouthpiece, in another we had to rebuild with Sansone Parts because it had been involved in an airline crash.

I'm not a repairman, but that would indicate to me that major work was done. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <horn@music.memphis.edu> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 5:15 AM Subject: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D Just a warning to whoever it is that has the high bid on this 8D - it is not all original - they have overhauled it and replaced the bell (and this is not told in the description....). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7310314974&ssPageName=ADM E:B:DS:US:28 Sincerely, Ken "Just Put Your Lips Together And Blow...." http://www.poperepair.com US Dealer: Kuhn, Paxman & Durk Pope Instrument Repair 80 Wenham Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 617-522-0532 _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/pmanly%40icehouse.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
