My guess, is that even if the ebay horn isn't a gimmick for an experienced horn player, it's not the right way for your wife to start playing the horn. You can get her a normal Bb single if you wish, but the best thing is a standard F/Bb double horn. -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
